Re: Follow-up on conflicts between disabilities

Hi everyone,

It's a good point as I think historically the conflicting requirements have been filtered out of WCAG - they would not get consensus. With a wider scope it is something that needs to be dealt with.

The colour-contrast aspect is one I'm familiar with, although there is a middle-ground there as you can tone down a background and still have reasonable contrast.

With more COGA requirements being included that can impact the design, and given the variety of requirements, it seems likely that some will conflict.

Where possible we should take a universal path, but perhaps there is a level of guidance that is marked as 'customisation/personalisation'?

    This is fascinating. Thank you for sharing. I'm extremely interested in this also, as I often hear of competing interests, for example, someone who needs high contrast (because of low vision) and someone for whom high contrast is jarring and may even produce a migraine, or for whom high contrast makes the content much more difficult to parse or figure out what they need to focus on (dyslexia or ADHD). 
    
    Thanks.
