That's something we've been using for a while and since this isn't text I don't believe this had to go through the a11y contrast ratio test. Laura is that the case, I remember we discussed this.
Now this is specified in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, needing a ratio of 3:1:

Would definitely good to make this change for better visibility asap.

Adding Apurva who was interested, and Gary who might be the right person for the task!

This will be done as part of the focus traversal update
