Description (last modified by )
Currently, the CSS definition in forms.css for .inline-related fieldset.module h3 (which is at least 16 years old) is not being used in the Django code base. The only templates using the inline-related CSS class are contrib/admin/templates/admin/edit_inline/tabular.html and contrib/admin/templates/admin/edit_inline/stacked.html, and the former only uses h3 elements inside a div element which does not fulfill the CSS rule, and in the latter there is no usage of h3 at all.

Looks good! I checked the base.css and noticed we have a --body-fg: #333 which also seems like a good option. I would remove the bold though!

| Summary: | Low contrast background color for fieldset headings within inline formsets → Remove unused CSS style `.inline-related fieldset.module h3` |
During a Discord conversation between Sarah and Ben, they realized that this low-contrast issue was only reproducible in the context of a PR fixing #35189, meaning that the issue is not present in main. So we are re-purposing this ticket to confirm and delete the unused CSS style .inline-related fieldset.module h3.

Thank you Sarah for the report, it makes sense. I checked and the background color is at least 16 years old!
Do you have any concrete suggestion for the new font color?
