Color Contrast
Good color contrast ensures that all students—including those with low vision or color blindness—can read your content comfortably.
Best Practices
- Use high contrast between text and background.
- Avoid using color alone to convey meaning (e.g., red for “wrong”).
- Test your slides, documents, and web content with a contrast checker.
Good Contrast:
- Black text on a white background
- Dark blue text on a light gray background
Poor Contrast:
- Maroon text on black
- Orange text on maroon
- Light gray text on white
