<issue_to_address>
**issue:** The custom primary and accent colors remain red globally, so Material components that consume these variables—such as links, buttons, focus indicators, and other primary-colored controls—remain red instead of following the stated black-and-white theme with red reserved for the selected tab.

**Suggested fix:** Set the global primary/accent variables to the intended neutral colors and scope `#D32F2F` to the active-tab selectors only.
</issue_to_address>

<issue_to_address>
**issue:** The active and hovered tab text uses `#D32F2F` on a white background; this color has a contrast ratio below the WCAG 4.5:1 threshold for normal-sized text, so tab labels do not meet normal-text contrast requirements.

**Triggers:** When the tabs are rendered with the default font size and the active or hovered state is displayed.

**Suggested fix:** Use a darker red for tab text, or add another non-color state such as an underline or weight change while preserving sufficient contrast.

🌐 Web query:

site:squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material navigation.tabs.sticky site_name title sticky

💡 Result:

The term navigation.tabs.sticky is a feature flag used in the Material for MkDocs theme to make the navigation tabs bar remain fixed at the top of the viewport when a user scrolls down [1]. To enable this, you must add the following configuration to your mkdocs.yml file: theme: features: - navigation.tabs - navigation.tabs.sticky Regarding your query for site_name, title, and sticky, it appears you may be combining concepts from the theme's configuration and metadata options: 1. navigation.tabs.sticky: This specific feature flag ensures the navigation tabs stay locked below the header [1]. 2. site_name and title: These are standard MkDocs configuration or page-level metadata properties. The site_name is set in the top-level mkdocs.yml configuration to define the name of the documentation project. The title is generally defined as the page heading in Markdown (using # Page Title) or through front matter metadata [2][3]. There is no native combined feature or setting called navigation.tabs.sticky site_name title sticky. If you are trying to configure the appearance of your site's header or navigation area, ensure these components are defined separately in your configuration file [1][3].

Clarify which element must remain visible.

If the target is Pocket Science Lab Documentation, navigation.tabs.sticky does not make the site_name title sticky. Add a header-specific fix. If the target is the navigation tab row, the current configuration is correct.
