@thinker@mds@soffes Had the same question! Lyft didn't define accessibility or reference any standards in their blog post for ColorBox-- wanted to confirm before I shared with my team https://design.lyft.com/re-appro...

@kvyn_@soffes I'm not even a designer and I enjoyed playing around with this 😍🎨
Would love to see what people make out of this 🙏
This is super cool. Will be useful for sure. Thanks for making it freely available, Lyft team!

I love all of these new accessibility color tools coming out!
Quick question for @soffes or anyone else. How do these contrast standards translate to print? Is it the same or a little different?

@soffes I guess it really depends in the size of text and the paper used. I’ve been using Contrast for a while on web projects, but I want to share the love with my design team.
@soffes@thetimcook These contrast standards are only for on-screen colors.
Unfortunately, it's significantly harder to measure color contrast in print because contrast of colors in print is made up of more things like - pigment of ink, color of paper, the paper's material, and the lighting of the environment, and so any of those factors will affect the ability for a person to read the content. Because of that, it's probably best to define a contrast ratio that you & your team feel comfortable with based on what you know, and then adhering to that. Adhering to a flat 4.5:1 contrast probably just is overly simple for printed material.

Well, if you are a noob in graphic designing, this platform helps you avoid choosing ugly color combinations. :D
