Moving this one over to v1.0 milestone because we discussed offline that changing the color scheme to Campbell should suffice. (assuming Campbell provides a good color contrast)

Regressed the bug in latest environment. The issue is resolved, contrast ratio for "Error" message is greater than 4.5:1 ratio. Hence closing this bug.
