I've been looking forward to this order.
eSUN PLA+ filament for the 3d printer, in a colour called "bone white". It's a very nice one for skeletons, bones, and everything alike. I think it'll become something dinosaur-related for the kids.
Any suggestions?

If your text is white and light green, consider it unseen.
Don't expect people to read or notice what doesn't have contrast. (like this post)
WCAG 2.X AA says:
- Large text (at least 19px and bold, or 24px) needs a contrast of 3∶1 or more.
- Regular text needs a contrast of 4.5∶1 or more.
You wouldn't accept a house with a horrible foundation.
So why do we accept bad design systems?
Do you think accessibility is hard? Expensive? Slow? That's pretty much guaranteed when your tools are horrible.
Check your foundation before complaining about results.

Don't use role="progressbar" for multi-step forms.
The spec says: "A progressbar indicates that the user's request has been received and the application is making progress toward completing the requested action."
Use an OL and aria-current. role="progressbar" sends the wrong message.
