#wcag2-2
This is doing rounds on Masto. I’ve no idea if so here, but better safe than sorry.

APCA is no longer part of WCAG3. You can use it, but for conformance (legal, policy, etc.) reasons you will still need to follow WCAG2. It’s possible to satisfy both in most cases.

Attached: 1 image 2025 should be the year you stop using WCAG 2 colour contrast testing, and switch to APCA. This article is a few years old, and covers everything well. https://blog.datawrapper.de/c...

I created a tool to find the differences between how WCAG 2.x evaluates color and how APCA does it. It should be easier to find when one model actually works better than the other.

This yeah, for GAAD, I've been working on a new talk, to convince people to care and invest about accessibility.

I'm going to be honest: slides for a strategic talk, take way more time to design. But, I love them now. Especially the snail!

APCA improves accessibility over WCAG2 contrast by:

1) Correctly calculating reds and oranges, helping protan color insensitivity.

2) Correctly calculating dark mode, helping literally all users.

3) Using well established peer-reviewed vision & readability science to improve actual accessibility.

APCA と WCAG で配色のコントラストチェックをした場合、両者の合否判定の不一致 (disagreement) をケースを見ることができるツール。パラパラと生成してみて、肌感覚を養っておくのもありかもですね。

Generate color pairs and compare WCAG 2.x ratios against APCA Lc thresholds. Filter disagreements, lock colors, and verify results with external tools.

The function in question is contrast-color()

Here's my proposal github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

There's a few others. Here's a meta issue github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

Color insensitive, protanopia in particular, see red/orange/purple as substantially darker. Therefore, if paired with black (ala WCAG2), readability contrast is reduced.

This is not about "orange ooh lala", this is about actively addressing an important user need.

WCAG 2 Contrast Guidelines claim to help color vision problems, but studies indicate they may do more harm than good in some cases.
