Color Accessibility Workflows
Source: A list Apart
Takeaway: Website Accessibility can be challenging (e.g. expensive and time consuming) to implement on an existing website, so the earlier it is addressed during development, the better. Testing and validation is imperative, and not something to be left until the end. One of the earliest aspects of accessibility to accommodate for are for users with visual difficulties, such as low vision. To make sites accessible, compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AA or higher requires a minimum contrast ration for text and user interface elements. The easiest way to be compliant is to understand the requirements, and use color combinations with adequate contrast from the start. To streamline the process of selecting colors, testing, and making any necessary adjustments, the author provides several tools she uses in her own workflow, including Contrast Ratio, Color Safe, and tanaguru contrast finder. Avoid the headache of having to change a design to be compliant after already getting client signoff; get it right from the start.
