[bcab] Accessibility considerations

Hi all, 

I've just come across a website that claims to have WAI - AA and WCAG 1.0 
having a symbol in the corner of ths creen.  The thing that I don't agree with 
is the colour contrast - white text on a light blue background.  My question is 
that when websites are tested by an accessibility website/program for 
accessibility, is colour contrast taken into consideration?  Surely the colour 
schemes to be used can be picked up from the code.  If it isn't already taken 
into consideration, maybe it could be i nthe future by specifying to the 
accessibility tool what is good contrast and what is bad contrast.  Do you 
follow what I'm saying?  For example, if the tool was told that white text on a 
light blue background was not good contrast then it woud be able to reject 
websites that were accessed using this method.  

I'm interested in hearing the views of others on this topic. 

Thanks.

Karina
