I like most of these, especially the different ways of making a hierarchy stand out. But I would say that if you're going to use gray text, pick out the exact shade using a really crappy LCD screen, maybe on an old phone, to make sure it's legible. Sites that use very light gray make me think the designer picked the color on a 5k iMac with the lights off.

Also, make your buttons look like buttons.

There's also automated WCAG tools that check for "contrast errors". For example you should ensure you provide background colors as a fallback if the user has background images disabled or the image has not downloaded yet
