- lifeisgood99 5y agoI'm missing the irony. Isn't the point that you need the arrows from the example on the right?

- morder 5y agoBecause the colors on the top of each box indicate which are bad and good. Red for bad and green for good. But if you're color-blind (or on a b&w ereader) you can't see the distinction and have no idea which is the right one at a glance and this section is specifically about not using only colors to indicate information.
- Eduard 5y agoTook me a moment to understand what's ironic, then I got it: the page discusses to use other visual (and also important, accessible text!) hints which don't solely rely on color, to convey information, besides purely color-coded information. But then, the book uses solely the colors red and green to visually convey bad and good examples. The meta-irony here is that reitzensteinm's imgur image cannot be understood by any visually-impaired person ;)
- reitzensteinm 5y agoOh wow. I wanted to be a bit vague so people had fun catching it. The meta irony didn't remotely occur to me. That made my morning, thank you!
- Jugurtha 5y agoOne delightful HN moment! :D
