I just want to make sure we're all on the same page; are we discussing
aesthetics or accessibility (in terms of legibility I guess)? Both?

Aesthetically I think it looks great.

I took a look at it with a plugin that simulates different kinds of
color vision impairments. With red- or green blindness the link text is
quite hard to read. Maybe greater luminance contrast could be useful.
It's hard to account for all kinds of impairment, but red-green
blindness is common so orange-on-olive is perhaps not the best choice.

For contrasts, there is apparently a "prefer-contrast" media query
parameter which can be used by clients to signal their preference.
