[jacquidow] I just read a pretty scary assumption in another slack group, someone posted a pic of website they have designed for 15-20 year olds. Someone else mentioned accessibility as the contrast was very low on some of the images. The response back was "Accessibility might not be too huge of a factor with such a young audience"
[jacquidow] Does anyone have any research I can use to help them understand why this is such a bad assumption to be making?
[michiel] Just label it hangover-mode ;)
[jacquidow] It took a few moments for me to get that! But genius! :)
[jacquidow] I saw an interesting thing the other day showing how considering accessibility can help people other than those with permanent disabilities, i.e. someone with no arm, someone with a broken arm, someone holding a baby all have the same affliction just for different periods of time
[michiel] I don’t have a good resource that I can link to directly, but I believe the UK gov released a set of posters related to accessibility that included various disabilities.
Is there a contrast checker that lets you specify the A for RGBA set colors?
I swear text in the nav in Google Analytics should be considered bad. They use rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.54) to make it lighter than straight black. I find it harder to read
[alastc] I’d have thought the eye-dropper using the Colour Contrast Analyser would work on that, it will take the displayed value (including opacity) rather than the CSS value.
