Description

Describe the bug

The contrast ratio for the "Submit a Nomination for 2026 Python Packaging Council Election" title is too low:

It's 1.44, and should be at least 3.0 to meet WCAG AA accessibility requirements:

The colour is defined in the database

To change it, someone with access to nominations should do something like:

Admin > Nominations > Election kinds > Packaging Council > change "Accent color" to #2E7D32.
