For the 32nd year, the entire world voted at the UN General Assembly to demand an end to the illegal US embargo against Cuba. The USA and Israel opposed the international community in a vote of 187 to 2.
Is there a website that can help me make sure I am covering colorblind? Like my work does green/red for pass/fail, but we are trying to add some alternate colors for user to enable as needed.
Yes! One easy/good one to use is https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/
It lets you pick two colors, and you can even use the eyedropper tool in their Color Picker box to select a color right off your screen. Then it’ll tell you the Contrast Ratio of the two selected colors. Higher is better. It will give you a pass/fail for WCAG AA and AAA (two levels of web accessibility standards).
I just now checked the red and green from the linked map and it had a ratio of 1.3:1 which is a fail for both AA and AAA.
Some websites (like Trello) give accessibility options to skip colors altogether, and use patterns (cross-hatch, polka-dot, etc.). But in general, going for a high enough contrast ratio should be good enough. I’m a web dev as well and we just run everything through one of those WCAG tools (I believe we’ve been using the WAVE browser plugin) and fix it until it passes. :) But, being the colorblind one on the team, I can often just be like “uhmm, that one ain’t gonna work.” lol.
btw sorry I got so spicy in my initial comment. I really wanted to see the map. :P
