 Description   

I am not sure if this issue should be reported here or somewhere else, anyway I will try.

The documentation website at mariadb.com is very nice, but uses color #002b64 for links. This color is too near to black color, that it is VERY HARDLY distinguished what is a link and what is not.

For example this page:
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/

It is full of links to other resources (a href), but those are very hardly noticable. I do not have problems in distinguishing colors in general, but in this particular case, it is very hard for me to tell what text is hyperlink (clickable) and what text is just text.

There is probably a bug in the css file.

The color is defined in
https://mariadb.com/kb/static/generated/main-4f48a80f0189f2b99c99c0d75942062a3a788e67.css

This code defines the color in the css file:
body.mpkb a

There is another link color definition below it, thus if you remove the code mentioned above entirely from the CSS file, the documentation will look MUCH MORE READABLE. Screenshots attached. Please consider updating the colors of the link in documentation. Thank you

No longer an issue since the site redesign in 2017.
