STR:

  1. Open a file with an input. For example copy paste this in the address bar:
    data:text/html,<input placeholder="hello world">
  2. Try to inspect this input with the accessibility panel.

=> the contrast isn't displayed.

As a result it's not possible to check the contrast of a placeholder, or of the input text.

To fix this we need 2 parts:

  • include entry role elements with no children in the list of valid accessible objects that we check contrast for
  • see if there's a way to figure out how to get styling for placeholder colour in case when we are dealing with the entry accessible objects. They have different color than form field colour and are browser specific.
