### Bug description

Currently, the default combination of background and foreground colors for inline code is below 4.5. 

This is with the latest build of Quarto (from this git repo). I'm on a Mac, but I don't think that's relevant, as it's just about the HTML styling.

Live page of the qmd file is here <https://mara.quarto.pub/quarto-inline-code/>.

Here is the  [`.qmd` source file](https://github.com/batpigandme/quarto-inline-code/blob/main/quarto-inline-code.qmd) (the contents of which are also shown below).

Here is an example of `code` inline. 

The color I'm getting for the inline code with no styling added is `#9954bb`. 
The default background color for inline code is `#f6f6f6`.
The contrast ratio for these two is 4.47 (too low). 
I can make this [WCAG compliant](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#visual-audio-contrast-contrast) (CCR >= 4.5 for body text) by increasing the contrast by setting `$code-color` to `#9753b8`, but it would be nice if this was the default behavior.

Here is the [GitHub repo with code for this page](https://github.com/batpigandme/quarto-inline-code).
