Text is WCAG AAA?
- evilduck 4mo agoChrome's built in Lighthouse scoring fails your site on lacking sufficient contrast. Subjectively, even without vision problems, I strongly dislike your choice also.
- Adrig 4mo agoThanks for the feedback. I wonder which system they use, WCAG is notoriously limited so I often use APCA and both cleared this combo
- jaggederest 4mo agoThus demonstrating that the final accessibility gate must be "the mark I human eyeball". Looks impossible to read without reader mode on my screen. Your "paper" choice is #bfbfc4 - even going to #ddd makes the APCA go from ~63 to 80 and would probably address the complaints handily. WCAG has a lot of gaps.
- Adrig 4mo agoBut human eyeballs can vary wildly, hence the need for tools. I'm the kind of person who uses the sepia mode for reading, so I didn't expect such strong discomfort from readers. This feedback surfaced a lot here, so it was a blind spot on my part. Anyway, did a quick fix, should be enough for now
- jaggederest 4mo agoI actually have a panel that I've collected over time, starting with a former coworker who was visually impaired, and I am now thinking it should be some kind of users-signup-and-give-feedback system, some sort of statistical sampling of a few people across the accessibility needs spectrum.
- layer8 4mo agoWhile that’s true, it’s still uncomfortable and hard to read, so I don’t know what WCAG is smoking: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=202958&bcolor=BDBDC2 https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=202958&...
