📚 Let's Make Reading Fun Again 📖👓 We are a non-profit focused on research with the aim of improving accessibility and visually enhanced readability for all.
While this is still a work in progress, we are pleased to present as pre-release: ARC: The APCA Readability Criterion. #a11y #accessible #color #colour #Webdesign #typography #Website #UI #ux readtech.org/ARC/guidelines/
Quick dark mode exploration using the accessible color palette editor I'm working on. 😄 The colors pass WCAG and APCA contrast checks. I'll link to the palette editor below if you want to try and have any feedback! 🧵 #accessibility #a11y

Thank you to Pablo Stanley and the team at Sketch Together for having me as a guest on their show this morning! We discussed the importance of accessibility in visual design, best practices for contrast and color, and much more in Q&A! #a11y #accessibility youtube.com/live/eKIEQjfSt…

Boost Your UI with APCA: The Color Accessibility Upgrade Over WCAG 3
Green makes up the vast majority of luminance. I.e. white is 71% green. (Red 22%, blue 7%). Implication: saturated greens should often be the brightest color, and saturated reds and blues should usually be the darkest of a pair.
🔥 New blog post! 🔥 “On compliance vs readability: Generating text colors with CSS” lea.verou.me/blog/2024/cont… This post uses Relative Colors in a creative way, to solve a big CSS pain point: automatically computing a text color that is legible on an arbitrary background.…
Like WCAG 2 contrast, L* overvalues darker colors, and undervalues lighter ones. Remember it is based on diffuse reflecting tiles, in a very controlled environment for adaptation (Munsell), where nothing can be 100 (there is no real-world, perfect, lambertian reflector.)
Ignore the results of WCAG 2 for dark colors. WCAG 2 is not accurate, especially when BG is darker than #ccc. #88b971 is equivalent to #acacac, close to perceptual middle #a0a0a0. #88b971 is too dark for columns of body text—okay for buttons when used with a bold enough font.
Great demo of additive and subtractive color with this video by Peter on his TikTok ! @color_nerd #color #colour #TikTok tiktok.com/t/ZTLrUsQoe/

Using a contrast checker? Stop using WCAG 2. Switch to APCA.

Question authority. No idea is true just because someone says so. Test ideas by the evidence gained from observation and experiment! If a favorite idea fails a well-designed test, it's wrong!
What a fantastic interview with @MyndexResearch and @caoimghgin about APCA, vision and design systems! A must-listen, in my opinion.
APCA is an algorithm that predicts lightness contrast of high spatial stimuli on a self-illuminated display. The guidelines are separate. APCA math is perfectly capable of backwards compatibility with WrongCAG2. It’s about guidelines for supporting backwards compatibility+++
Great graph by @MyndexResearch: contrast depends on letter size in a very non-linear way. This is why we should use APCA metric for contrast instead of WCAG.

Use the new APCA (Advanced Perceptual Contrast Algorithm) method, it’s in public beta myndex.com/APCA/
Do standards and guidelines lag emerging technology? Yes. Can this be helped? Also yes. A brief article posted on Linkedin: #a11y #Webdesign #WCAG #APCA #accessibility #Standards linkedin.com/posts/andrew-m…

Cool find of the day: Polychrom by @evilmartians A beautiful APCA Contrast Checker ✨ #figma #buildinpublic #uidesign

Some late night color adjustments for @primedesignkit. ✅ Figms variables (dark & light), ✅ Styles, ✅ Token names, ✅ APCA contrast It’s never too late (hour) to make some uplifts, if they are gonna make things right 💪 #uidesign #designsystem
