Evaluate pygments-styles to replace accessible-pygments

[kdeldycke]

I'd like to point out the existence of a new project called pygments-styles that could be used as an alternative to accessible-pygments.

You can compare the two sets of styles at:

• https://pygments-styles.org
• https://quansight-labs.github.io/accessible-pygments/

Context

This project has been created by @lepture to implement dark/light theme in its Shibuya theme. Here is the source code of this integration for inspiration: https://github.com/lepture/shibuya/blob/main/src/shibuya/_pygments.py

Maybe pygments-styles can help Furo solves its recent issues with accessible-pygments styles:

• Dark mode contrast problem in furo==2024.8.6 #889
• Dark mode contrast problem in furo==2024.8.6 #888
• python-console highlighting of a11y-high-contrast-light could be improved Quansight-Labs/accessible-pygments#72
• d92b62f
• Highlighting of python-console code-blocks has low contrast pydata/pydata-sphinx-theme#2172 (comment)

There is a "Accessibility" section for each style, for example:

https://pygments-styles.org/styles/plastic/#accessibility

Oh, thank you for doing this!

It does look like dark-plus is the closest background color involved here to what I'd consider optimal but that has #0550AE (which is used for .ow) that isn't in the table.

Actually, I'm wrong! The problem here is that Furo's handling of dark pygments styles is wrong/leaky!
