Jetpack: Contact Form: color contrast ratio accessibility issue with "required" text

[jeherve]

The "required" label appearing next to contact form fields does not pass the color contrast ratio with most light themes, like Twenty Fifteen.

The color contrast ratio between for the text (#aaaaaa) and its background (#F8F8F8 for Twenty Fifteen) is not at least 4.5 to 1.
