Accessibility Tips

Ensure that there is enough contrast between the background and foreground colors of the UTIA button. In other words, use a white background with gray text or a gray background with white text. WordPress will tell you if there is a contrast issue with the colors chosen, if you see this message, then change the colors of the background and/or text:
