Improve placeholder and side menu icon contrast for WCAG compliance #1983
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The placeholder text and side menu icons in the BlockNote editor have insufficient contrast.
This fails WCAG 2.1 requirements (minimum 4.5:1), making it harder for users with low vision.
Describe the solution you'd like
Update the placeholder text and side menu icon styles to use higher-contrast colors.
For example, switching --bn-colors-side-menu: #cfcfcf; to --bn-colors-side-menu: #2a2a2a;

@Ovgodd I'm converting this to a discussion which is where we keep track of larger feature work.
Ideally, we'll be able to do a larger sprint on a11y if we can get this sponsored (good chance we can get support from ZenDiS / DINUM for this)
