What are the contrast ratios on the text with the new treatment?

5 for dark mode and 11.73 for light mode

What about just using a darker gray? In my mind the color is kind of associated with being selected. I'm also curious what this would look like on a date-range picker, where I think dates in between the 2 selected end points are a similar color to what you used here

This is what it looks like with the range, I think it still looks fine, what do you think?

I chose to use a color background because https://material.io/components/date-pickers#anatomy (Desktop date picker
section)

Ah I scanned the spec but didn't notice that. In that case yeah, lets go with the color

For reference, here's what it looks like when overlapping the green and yellow:

It's not my favorite, but good enough

Looking through the designs in the spec (https://material.io/components/date-pickers#desktop-pickers), it seems like the circle is supposed to be transparent with an outline when selecting a range. It may end up complicating the selectors though.

A bit further down there's a graphic that says not to use the same colors for selected and hover.

For the part where it says not to use the same style for hover and selected states I think it refers to selected range vs to be selected range. However it does seem like the datepicker and date range picker have slightly different hover state treatments.

Confirmed with MDC designer that hover over selected range should be same as normal datepicker
