Colour and contrast: everyone should be able to read your text
It is important that the text in your course content be seen and is legible.
Blackboard Ally’s contrast checks verify if there is enough contrast between the text colour and its background colour. Text with poor contrast can be difficult to read for everyone, but especially for students with visual impairments such as colour blindness.
Watch the Web Accessibility Design Principles video on colour and contrast.
