Low contrast in multiple aspects of light mode

Observed behaviour

Many elements have low positive contrast polarity with their background. We could identify:
  • Unfocused DMs titles are light grey, when in my opinion the highlight around the current focused DM is enough to make it apart
  • Unfocused settings entries are light grey, in pretty much the same fashion as above
  • Buttons in the chatbox are fairly low contrast
  • Muted and read channels are very close in contrast
  • Strike-through text is grey instead of black and thus hard to read

Reproduction steps

  1. Turn on light mode
  2. Browse DMs, community channels and settings, read a stricken-through text

Details

Expected behaviour Light mode should have decent to heavy contrast on most elements, at least as much as dark mode does.
