Steps to reproduce

Check text color FF917FFF against background color FEF7FFFF.

Why is there the color code FF917FFF for the text in:

flutter/packages/flutter_test/lib/src/binding.dart

Lines 768 to 772 in 0b191ba

static const TextStyle _messageStyle = TextStyle(color: Color(0xFF917FFF), fontSize: 40.0);
static const Widget _preTestMessage = Center(
child: Text('Test starting...', style: _messageStyle, textDirection: TextDirection.ltr),
);

Expected results

Contrast ratio should be above 3.0:1

Actual results

Contrast ratio is 2.99:1
