Why did font colors on all BitBucket Cloud wikis and issue trackers suddenly become unreadable?

Dan Bonachea

Sometime in the past few hours (Jun 28, 2024, between 4:00 and 7:30 PT) the rendering of apparently all wiki body text content and issue tacker content on BitBucket Cloud changed from a sane "black text on white background" color scheme, to a ridiculous "light grey on white background" color scheme.

I'm really hoping this is some kind of accidental defect, because the new color scheme is almost completely unreadable. Example from our repo:

Here is a second random example

I've checked numerous other BB cloud repos not affiliated with my workspace and they all show the same defective color scheme.

How can we get this fixed ASAP?

See here for W3C recommendations regarding minimum contrast ratio of text.
Currently Atlassian is falling far short of those guidelines.

I'm seeing the same thing, and it seems to be very recent, as in since yesterday afternoon. All text is now in a very light gray color and is nearly unreadable. Hoping this will be addressed quickly.

To BitBucket management team:

you should put reliability as top priority not other fancy stuff.

Please fix this soon. I use Bitbucket wikis nearly every day. They're by far the biggest reason I use Bitbucket as opposed to competing sites. Code snippets on wikis are especially unbearable because they use light gray on dark gray.

For those of you who want a short-term workaround, you can use your browser's inspect feature to turn off the text color under body.adg3. But you have to do it again every time you visit a page unless you want to use a browser add-on that can do it automatically.
