This article puts the description of it at the bottom, but APCA Contrast—which is the readable contrast test in the WCAG 3 Draft Standard—is much more fair to some colors than WCAG 2.1's Contrast Ratio was.
Good reading for the color theory behind perceptual contrast: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2022/09/realities-myths-contrast-color/ https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2022/09/realities-myths-con...
And a distilled description of APCA: https://typefully.com/u/DanHollick/t/sle13GMW2Brp https://typefully.com/u/DanHollick/t/sle13GMW2Brp

- kreskin 3y agoThe current license kinda sucks but there is some hope that a more permissive license will be in place by the end of the year. https://twitter.com/MyndexResearch/status/1695501472937693332 https://twitter.com/MyndexResearch/status/169550147293769333...

And I am providing some exceptions, if you need, send an email to legal@myndex.com Just can't do an MIT type license right now—and really there's no generic one that really suit what we need right now, so we're working on such a license, one that is reasonably permissive yet prevents some of the issues we've run into. I.e. like with bad actors incorrectly modifying, or reverse engineering and doing so wrongly, or taking it to the cantina at Mos Eisley...
