Are the above colors [[WCAG]] compliant? [[User:Qwerty284651|Qwerty284651]] ([[User talk:Qwerty284651|talk]]) 00:49, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

:Assuming (i) a black foreground; (ii) your browser maps <code>lightblue</code> to <code>#add8e6</code>; and (iii) the last row of the first table has <code>#f8f9fa</code> as its background colour, try these links:

:In some browsers you may need to click the "back" button more times than expected.

:The relevant accessibility guideline is at [//www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#visual-audio-contrast WCAG 2.0 section 1.4]. note that whilst Level AA is mandatory, level AAA is optional. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] &#x1f339; ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 20:51, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

::Unfortunately WCAG 2.x contrast is not accurate, and that Snook page even references the WCAG 1 methods which are even more bizarre. In full disclosure I am working on the new future methods, [https://www.myndex.com/APCA/ APCA] and the [https://readtech.org/ARC/ APC-Readability Criterion]. If you want a WCAG 3 checker, I suggest STARK, they have a free web extension.

::As an example, WCAG claims that text in the red box is 6.45:1, nearly the high AAA level. Personally, I can' read it that well, and those with protanopia probably can't read it at all. I tested it ina clinically accurate protan simulator, and it's very hard to make out, yet WCAG rates it highly. APCA on the other hand rejects it as inaccessible... &nbsp;<span style="border:1px solid #30a;border-left:0;border-radius:20px;padding: 0;background:#eef">[[User:Myndex|<span style="border-radius:22px;padding:3px 7px;background:#30a;color:#def;">Myndex</span>]] [[User talk:Myndex|talk]]&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> 12:57, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

== Where does the EAA enforce WCAG? ==

Article currently states:

"The [[European Accessibility Act]] (EAA) will become legally applicable in EU member states on 28 June 2025. The EAA will require websites, apps, ebooks, ecommerce platforms, PDFs and others to conform to WCAG 2.1 AA criteria within the EU."

However, [https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32019L0882 neither the directive's text] nor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Accessibility_Act the dedicated EAA wikipedia article] makes any reference to WCAG.

I think a citation is much needed here, or the paragraph should be struck. [[User:Jakeisonline|Jakeisonline]] ([[User talk:Jakeisonline|talk]]) 09:34, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
