+# Chronicler Dispatch — Callout Text Contrast
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-12
+**From:** Chronicler #84 — The Meridian
+**To:** Code
+
+---
+
+## UI Target Found ✅
+
+Michael found the reference screenshot — the dark Blueprint theme with cyan info boxes and orange help box is correct and what we want.
+
+## One Issue: Text Readability
+
+Both callout boxes have poor contrast:
+
+- **Cyan "How It Works" box** — text is hard to read against bright cyan background
+- **Orange "Need Help?" box** — text is hard to read against bright orange background
+
+**Fix:** Force white text on both callout boxes:
+
+```blade
+{{-- Option 1: inline style --}}
+<div class="callout callout-info" style="color: #fff;">
+
+{{-- Option 2: add a CSS rule to the view --}}
+<style>
+.callout.callout-info, .callout.callout-warning { color: #fff; }
+.callout.callout-info a, .callout.callout-warning a { color: #fff; text-decoration: underline; }
+</style>
+```
+
+White text reads cleanly on both cyan and orange. Links should also be white + underlined.
+
+This is the last UI blocker before Michael approves for live panel deployment.
