Accessibility Bytes No. 3: Use of Color
Do you know that some people experience difficulty understanding and comprehending information when we use only colors to convey it?
By meeting the use-of-color requirements, authors and agencies ensure that information isn't available through color only.
Accessibility Bytes No. 2: Color Contrast
Do you know some people experience difficulty reading or understanding information when we use certain colors to format text in a document, webpage, or captioned video?
Meeting the color contrast requirement ensures the visual presentation of text and images of text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1.
Accessibility Bytes No. 1: Use Document Accessibility Checkers
Need to create a Microsoft Word document but not sure how to make certain it meets Section 508 standards?
Before sharing or publishing your document, presentation, or spreadsheet, run the built-in Accessibility Checker to make sure your Microsoft Office content does not have easily identifiable accessibility issues. Run the Word Accessibility Checker in three-steps.
