[SumitDiyora]

Action Performed:

1. Using Chrome, open URL: staging.new.expensify.com
2. Navigate to Settings > Workspace > Manage members > Invite
3. Navigate to the "Name, email, or phone number" and "Add a personal message (optional)" form fields using the Tab key.
4. Observe that the analyser reports that the contrast ratio is not sufficient.

Expected Result:

The border of the input field should have a contrast ratio against the page background of 3:1 or greater.

Actual Result:

Background/foreground color combinations with an insufficient contrast ratio was found on the screen. For instance, the #ECECEC border of "Name, email, or phone number" and "Add a personal message (optional)" form fields has a contrast ratio of 1.2:1 with the #FFFFFF background.
