#36230 assigned Bug

Better color contrast for blockquote in admin docs

Description

In the Admin Docs, the color contrast for text in blockquotes is quite low, making the text very hard to read. An example can be seen in the ​template tags docs.

Example from Django Admin Docs of a blockquote with poor color contrast on dark mode

The blockquote color is hard-coded to a shade of gray that isn’t visible in the dark theme. It needs switching to an existing CSS variable so the color contrast is good enough in both themes.
