Re: Input outline question

From my perspective (using Invert Colors and resizing to about the size of
my iPhone X) the example in #1 is more visible, and text contrast appears
to be higher, so that I have an easier time identifying input fields.

My hunch would be that #2 is the one that is worse for text contrast.

Hi everyone,

The new version of Google’s material design was released today(ish), and I
have a question.

In the usage section [3] for text inputs are two side-by-side examples
(under “choosing the right text field”), I’d like to know if either appears
easier to see & understand?

There isn’t a direct anchor in the page, but the two images are:

      https://material.io/design/assets/1Kezf2nmTVbQdOfNajrotDxeIKs1WlwHl/textfields-type-stroke.png



I suggest resizing until it’s around the physical size of a phone screen.

One of these fits the non-text contrast guideline better (but worse for
text-contrast), but which is better for LV folks?

Kind regards,

-Alastair
