Accessibility considerations TO DO
WCAG2.0 - AA Standard for Accessibility
Overall all colours should follow the WCAG2.0 guidelines to meet AA standard.
WCAG2.0 Guidelines here
For colours specifically, follow the guidelines below:
1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)
The visual presentation of text and images of text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 (Level AA)
The following shows some examples on what colours are accessible and which ones are not
Customisation options
The colours are fully customisable. Here are some guidelines that can be shared with the client to support them in ensuring that the colour contrast is sufficient and accessible for their customers.
-
Clients are to provide following categories of colours as minimum materials for reskin:
-
Primary colour:
Main colour for hand CTAs -
Secondary 1:
Supplementing primary colour that will be used for important indication or interactions which support the main experience users are currently going through. -
Secondary 2:
Contrasting colour to the primary colour which can be used for conflicting informations -
Secondary 3:
Lighter colour scheme in relation to Primary which is not same colour but within similar spectrum of colours -
Neutral: Optional override which is supporting white pallets - Purpose is to differentiate frame or UI to background colour with subtle difference to not obstruct information.
