I am not sure if I got your question right.

I tried it with my MacBook and everything worked out fine (passed the color test). The darker option was shown after I switched my accessibility preference on my MacOS.

Still, as an Accessibility Advocate I highly recommend using color with high ratio already from the very beginning (in the design process). This doesn't necessarily mean that you don't be able to use pastel colors anymore, but you could use them combined with a dark font color.
