Email Form Text & “Note”

Hi,

Spent hours on what should have been simple to fix, but couldn’t find options to do so (I’m a UI Designer). How to resolve the following:

• Adjust & increase the color contrast of form texts (i.e. the email address field text color/contrast can’t be adjusted), so that the field texts are visible & complies for ADA accessibilty (atm, text is so light it blends w/field background color which also can’t be adjusted)? Or, at least how to adjust the background color of fields so the field text is visible with appropriate contrast? This issue persisted despite trying all the various design templates and even manually adjusting individual colors.
• When designing the subscription form, under “Notes”, how to include active linking to privacy policies or any of our site legal notices? The “note” field has HTML code for “privacy policy”, but we can’t actually link the text to any url to make it active. This is also an issue for privacy compliance for website forms.

Those were the issues I had customizing my subscription form and would like to be in better compliance for the above reasons. If I missed where to go to make those specific adjustments, please advise. Thank you in advance for your help.
