What do Mark Zuckerberg, Prince William and Keanu Reeves have in common? 🤔

Apart from being white men, they are all colorblind.

September 6th (today) is Awareness Day! 👀🎨

Let's try not to make it harder for people with color deficiencies in our own designs. Use good in your , and think twice about .

Together we can work towards and .

Small Text is Medium’s Large Fail

The Medium platform has a lot of good features going for it, yet it literally ignores visual accessibility.

For a platform that is entirely based around readable content, one would think that it’d be close to State of the Art, instead of the State of Unreadable.

Free article link, skips the paywall!

Prolixity: excessively verbose writing.

I know I've been guilty of prolixity myself during the development of APCA, in large part because human vision is a complicated and nuanced subject.

Nevertheless I've worked hard and involved some AI tools to create a simple and easy to read introduction to visual contrast:

A recent journal-published peer-review of APCA:

"...15 years since the adoption of WCAG 2.0...enhanced color models adapted to human perception, have been developed...APCA shows more accurate results for measuring color contrast..."

@rfnix if you like that, you “might” like my color/contrast overview, the target audience was designers, and the aim was an “irreducibly basic. yet still comprehensive” coverage of color and contrast for design.

of the day:

"A simple model describes large individual differences in simultaneous " by Ekroll & Faul, 2009.

I like papers that describe varying phenomena in human vision. Among so many people trying to unify everything under a single model, it's so rare to find some going deep into describing actual differences in perception in the general population - obviously not counting those that describe medical anomalies like color blindness.

Slightly increasing so often makes for a prettier during editing, but it's always puzzled me why the default in human was not identical contrast between display/scene.

I mean, I know that ambient light conditions matter because of glare and that somehow video folks are used to choosing an appropriate gamma depending on the display conditions, but I've never found a good intuitive 5-minutes explanation...

'real shadow'

When it's hard to tell shadows and reality apart, it's time for more lightness in life.

Prolixity: excessively verbose writing.

And verbose, dense writing has occasionally created a barrier to understanding APCA, the accessible and perceptually uniform contrast method.

To make it easier, we've pared things down to bare essentials and placed them in a linktree.

At the top is the "APCA Easy Intro" a brief, plain language introduction to accessible contrast for design.
