Removing contrast towards more washed out colors does not look like an improvement. Examples at the end look less legible both in too much light and in less light.
- luguenth 4y agoI can't see your point towards the washed out colors. Did you really compare the two Examples? I did compare both color schemes (the dark blue ones), and they seem very close together with a bit (nearly unnoticeable) more contrast for the OKSolar Color Scheme. Here is it side by side (the bottom one is oksolar): https://i.imgur.com/wcu2r7O.png https://i.imgur.com/wcu2r7O.png

- onli 4y agoI definitely can relate. In the light version, the background has now less color, it looks more washed out. However, the author did improve the contrast when looking at the numbers. I ran the default text color through a contrast check and see this results (I hope I took the correct colors): solarized: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=657B83&bcolor=FDF6E3 https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=657B83&... (4.12:1) OkSolar: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=657377&bcolor=FBF7EF https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=657377&... (4.6:1) selenized: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=53676D&bcolor=FBF3DB https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=53676D&... (5.36:1) So this is likely better, but not as accessible as selenized. When looking at the writeup there was maybe a bit too much focus on equal color contrast vs raising the contrast in general? Regardless, this is a nice evolution, and the equal contrast approach combined with selenized higher contrast approach could make for the perfect combination.
