Re: Re[2]: Colour Luminosity/Contrast for form inputs/controls/components

Hi Josh,



There has been some work on it on the LVTF, you might remember from TPAC the discussion about how to define the things that need contrast, without mandating borders etc.



The current proposal is here:

https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/low-vision-a11y-tf/wiki/Contrast_(Minimum)



I haven’t looked at that one much yet (been focused on sizing and reflow), but my impression is that we need to think about what ‘it’ is contrasting with…



Cheers,

    this would mean that there needs to be a 4.5:1 ratio between, say,

    Going in the right direction - I like calling out 'states' but aren't

    there also the need to have the components themselves perceivable? Say

    scrollbars for example that don't change state?



    In terms of states we could define ratios for active/inactive for sure.



    Thanks
