Accessibility

Designing interfaces to be accessible will provide a consistent user experience for all users.

Colour

Elements should meet minimum contrast ratio requirements for accessibility (i.e. a 4.5:1 contrast ratio between the element and bordering elements). See WCAG 2.2 SC 1.4.3.

tip

Ensure the contrast ratio of colours meets accessibility standards with this tool.

Identification

Per WCAG 2.2 SC 3.2.4, components with similar functions should be identified consistently. This extends to both labels and icons.

For example, if a navigation button on one modal is labelled Back, but an otherwise identical button on a different modal is labelled Previous, their labelling is inconsistent.
