I assume you’re referring to the Colour Contrast Analyzer plugin by Gez Lemon. It’s a great plugin, and extremely efficient for identifying contrast problems with a given page.

The failures you’re seeing for this page are with the AERT Color Contrast test. This was the contrast test generally used to check compliance with WCAG 1, the predecessor to the current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. The Luminosity Contrast Ratio test is specifically recommended by WCAG 2, and using those guidelines this page is in compliance.

I’ve checked this page using colour contrast analyser — fx extension on my laptop, found some failed results
what do you think about this extension?
