One order card, six viewing conditions
The same card on a good screen indoors, and under five conditions it will meet: a projector, the sun, a night-shift setting, grayscale and paper. Each is a rough simulation. Under each card, the contrast of every pair as that view gets it: text needs 4.5:1, the progress bar 3:1 against its track.
Your system is using forced colors now. The cards keep their colors so you can compare them; the rest of the page uses your palette.

These are rough simulations. A real projector, sky or night-shift setting depends on the hardware, its settings and the room, and printers differ by ink, paper and driver. What the simulations show reliably is that pairs with narrow margins fail first; the exact order depends on the colors, which is why the gray "Updated time" line, 5.5:1 indoors, ends up below the 5.1:1 button. The words carry the meaning in every view: "Shipped" with a check, "Step 3 of 4" beside the bar, an underlined link.
Print this page to see the real print rule: card 1 alone, with the progress bar kept by print-color-adjust: exact.
