Resolution

Here is the explanation for the reported behavior:

The color contrast of disabled links are different from that of active links. The active link is displayed in blue while a disabled link is displayed in gray with low opacity.

Hence the user should test the contrast only for active links. According to the W3C color contrast, 4:5:1 contrast standard is not required for disabled links, text, or buttons.
