Hi Gregg, My first message (Thursday, 3 August, 2023 10:34 AM) had a dozen or so numbered references, listed as footnotes. Of course those references have additional cites and references. The current public “catalog” of resources is: https://git.myndex.com <https://git.myndex.com/> it is fairly large, more than a firehose worth... I am working on the more granular bibliographies, my database & folders have over 1k papers/books on these topics. What I am doing right now is simplifying and working toward more plain language documentation. > I would be good to read them as we work on WCAG 3. I agree, and there is a wealth of information <https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2022/09/realities-myths-contrast-color/> and documentation <https://git.apcacontrast.com/documentation/WhyAPCA.html>, as well as: a forum for discussion <https://github.com/Myndex/SAPC-APCA/discussions> the draft guidelines <https://readtech.org/ARC/> a list of available tools <https://git.apcacontrast.com/documentation/thirdpartytools> peer review / third party reviews <https://git.myndex.com/#apca-peer-review--third-party-discussion> > The colorspaces of computers have all changed since WCAG 2,0 days so we need to rework everything anyway. But It would be good to see the studies you cite. Most are still sRGB, with Apple joining the sRGB 2.2 bandwagon circa 2008. Display P3 is becoming more common, but also often clamped to sRGB via color management. I have a bunch of wide gamut Adobe98 monitors as well. The bigger concerns are UHD (eg rec2020) and HDR (eg rec2100), both having issues that make them less accessible than sRGB. APCA uses “input modules”, there are presently ones for sRGB, Display P3, Adobe98 RGB. APCA is designed to be modular, adjustable, and extensible, so it is fairly straightforward to accommodate different spaces or technologies. > Also — were they based on the WCAG provisions? They only state the contrast ratio. > Or were they based on tools? > and did the sites have less contrast for people with color blindness and low vision — or just Lower contrast for normal vision? Are you talking about the survey conducted regarding legacy sites and their contrast pre and post WCAG 2? (discussed in “Better Reading on the Web” <https://uxdesign.cc/better-reading-on-the-web-c943c4cfc91a>,) This was interrogating the colors used for primary content text and the background. What we have been seeing since 2008 is a decrease in contrast for content text, particularly contrast for body text which is the larger concern as that directly affects the ability to read long periods without fatigue. Of course this is a simplification, and the nuances are broad and far reaching. > Ah... and were they based on how to calculate contrast? > -One thing I found from this is that there are different camps on how to measure all this Back in the day, it wasn’t measured. For a thousand years in print, people used black text on a light background. At some point, post 2008, the odd notion of “must not have too much contrast” started floating around. Unfortunately, instead of reducing the luminance of the background, people started using blazing bright #fff white BGs, and then making the text a light grey, i.e. #767676 for 4.5:1, or #949494 for 3:1 … 4.5:1 is woefully inadequate for the use case of body text. (See “contrast reserve” Lovie-Kitchin et alia). I addressed this directly in “Please Stop Using Grey Text” <https://tangledweb.xyz/please-stop-using-grey-text-3d3e71acfca8> and also “Better Reading on the Web” <https://uxdesign.cc/better-reading-on-the-web-c943c4cfc91a>, both written for a more general/designer audience. > - and Aries Arditi - a vision scientist with the lighthouse for the blind who did research with low vision users finally said he was not going to get involved with any more of these discussions… since the seem to border on 'religious' discussions at times. I am very familiar with Dr. Arditi's work, and reference a lot of it. His 2017 paper “Rethinking ADA Signage” was particularly interesting. And a problem here, which he laments in the 2017 paper, is the lack of empirical support for common thresholds. Certainly Whittaker, Lovie-Kitchin et alia we're not constrained with 3:1 as an example. The APCA Readability Criterion is derived from Whittaker, Lovie-Kitchin, Ian Bailey, Legge, et alia... > - but the Oberdorfer Award in Low Vision, was presented by the Association for Research in Vision andOphthalmology (ARVO) and the ARVO Foundation for Eye Research in 2013 for the work done on WCAG and contrast. The Oberdorfer Award is supported by the Lighthouse Guild, who has done so much for low vision, and it's good to have awards like this to bring attention to the subject. I particularly like the research of Dr Arditi they funded. > I think going forward we would do better to not throw stones and simply try to figure out what is the best methods with modern colorspaces — look for best evidence - and then make our new standards in W3 I’ve spent 4.5 years attempting to avoid stone throwing, though having been a recipient in that regard, at least from the itinerant troll army that surrounds this subject…. as you mentioned, Arditi noted the religious fervor… If I seem on the offense or defensive at all, it is due to the high profile nature of the subject matter, and the unfortunate division that can accompany a paradigm shift. The funny thing is, in the summer 2019 Visual Contrast group sessions, we were MOST worried about designers rejecting the changes as they are stronger, for instance demanding much higher contrast for small thin body text. So I brought it out in 2021 to show designers and present the concept that it is more sensible and an improvement both the accessibility and design… and designers/developers are very much on board, in fact I was shocked by the rapid acceptance and early adoption. What shocked me was the only real pushback was not from designers, but from a certain segment of the accessibility community. It still makes no sense to me as APCA is stricter than WCAG 2. > Two things I think are for sure > The display technologies have changes — and so we DO need to update the contrast measures Not just due to display technologies, but due to the vital need for perceptual uniformity, so that the algorithms can be used in automated contexts. This is super critical for user personalizations and alternate color schemes on demand. > We need to keep in mind that we are talking about the best measures for people with low vision, people with different color vision differences — and people with BOTH. That will make a lot of the standard research on contrast a bit less useful. And the type of research we need much rarer. The existing research that I've been citing is for the most part centered around low vision, reduced contrast sensitivity impairments, and/or color vision deficiencies. I have impaired/low vision and CS issues myself (and different impairments in each eye). If we consider the individual steps toward a working, useful, perceptually uniform model: 1) Measure contrast sensitivity curves using matching experiments (preferred over magnitude estimation) using appropriate technology. 2) Create a math model that reasonably fits for the useful span of the visual range, and particularly uniform near the critical values (reference Lovie Kitchin) 3) Assign thresholds to accommodate a given level/form of impairment (again, reference Lovie Kitchin) 4) Simplify and reduce to the de minimus — in our case this means spatial characteristics (font weight, line thickness), and then the compensating luminance contrast as a perceptual lightness difference, and the offsets for use cases & various impairment levels. Importantly, perhaps more than any other area, contrast is not a one-size-fits, and benefits immensely from user personalization, even if just changing between light and dark mode. But even here, more granular is better: Light mode - Default Light mode - HiCon Light mode - paper (low fatigue) Dark mode - for day/bright environments Dark mode - for night/dark environments Dark mode - HiCon Dark mode - Low Luminance (glare reduced) Then add Daltonization Deutan modes Protan modes But those are a lot of alternates. Better to design one or two, and the remaining created dynamically through automated color adjustment. And that requires perceptual uniformity in a model. > I ALSO suspect that > We should be looking at studies that involve 'reading text' vs studies about letter identification or anything image base etc All the studies we derived the guidelines from are reading based, particularly with the effort to find the critical contrast or critical acuity size for fluent readability. (again, reference Lovie Kitchin). Everything thus far is based on readability for speed and comprehension, NOT legibility. > Color contrast and Contrast are different. Two colors can contrast with each other (e.g. a red and a green) but be identical to someone. I think we should drop "color contrast" and just talk about contrast I dropped the term “color contrast” back in 2019, and went with “Visual Contrast” The current draft guidelines: https://readtech.org/ARC/ <https://readtech.org/ARC/> The “Bronze Simple” level, intended as an easy entry/bridge from WCAG 2: https://readtech.org/ARC/tests/bronze-simple-mode/?tn=intro <https://readtech.org/ARC/tests/bronze-simple-mode/?tn=intro> I have more extensions and features waiting in the wings—They will be rolled out once I have a better idea of what is going on here. And to mention, if you’d like to have a zoom call discussion to cover this in more detail than I can cover in a brief email, please let me know.

WCAG 2.x contrast puts that flip point at a significantly incorrect value, resulting in poor to unreadable combinations.
