This kind of gets me. Isn’t a design meant to be “human centered” and usable for I dunno…users?
How many people do you know that have some form of color blindness or other vision impairment? Now think about how many of your users might be subject to those differences.
What is the point of an appealing design if a pretty huge market is ignore because “our brand colors are white text on a light colored cyan background!”?
- brightball 5y agoYou’re not wrong, but honestly until I had somebody on my team who was color blind I had no clue how to build with it in mind.
- bladegash 5y agoThat’s definitely a fair point and I’d be lying if I said I paid attention to accessibility from day one. Took me seeing a coupon on a billion dollar retailer’s, where the alternative text did not include the coupon code, that I took it a little more seriously. Dunno why, but I imagined myself having to pay 20% more than everyone else due to something I can’t control.
