pack colors, the 3.1 rule question

I've also had questions about this. When I applied with Yuèlóng, I was told the color needed at least a 2 on this checker: 
https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/
While I'm very satisfied with Yuèlóng's green now, I do think the color expectations should be more consistent.

Unless I'm using the checker wrong, Moonspear's green has a score of 1.66- and while I understand they were made likely before the color check was implemented, I do think it is a bit odd to allow an exception for one group and not others, as Moonspear's green will also need to be read often. (I'm also not saying they need to change necessarily, don't read me wrong here heh) 

If it's about particularly the link color, I think that's a lot more understandable since it will need to be read as text more often- however the first color will still need to be read as background, for example thread titles in white text against the first color in pack forums. 

I feel like there's some general inconsistencies with judging color- not sure what my point is lol, maybe just lower the number standards a bit to make things a little more equal? um yea <3
