Insufficient Text/Background color contrast

Open jdeisenberg opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

The site fails to pass WCAG guidelines for color contrast. This makes it difficult to use for anyone without extremely good vision.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I've never actually heard of these guidelines before - do you have a favorite resource for how to bring websites up to spec? Or a test procedure of some kind?

  • Here’s a good article: https://webaim.org/articles/contrast/
  • A specific page about color contrast with links to testing resources: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/contrast-minimum#resources
  • I will ask around about resources for bringing websites up to spec and testing. Here is a list: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/

Thank you very much! I'll definitely take a look at this - I've been meaning to give this a code reboot since it's quite ugly at the moment =)

I have gotten recommendations for:

  • https://tenon.io/ (appears to be a commercial entity)
  • Axe browser extension from https://www.deque.com/
  • Bureau of Internet Accessibility (vendor) https://www.boia.org/about
  • Wave at https://wave.webaim.org/
