Description

In the Admin Docs, the color contrast for text in blockquotes is quite low, making the text very hard to read. An example can be seen in the ​template tags docs.

Example from Django Admin Docs of a blockquote with poor color contrast on dark mode

The blockquote color is hard-coded to a shade of gray that isn’t visible in the dark theme. It needs switching to an existing CSS variable so the color contrast is good enough in both themes.
