| Sep 9, 2020 at 15:29 | comment | added | Ben Kelly StaffMod | Believe it or not, we did actually do some testing with Chrome's new-ish Emulate vision deficiencies tool. You can see some of my comments (w/ pics) on the public Stacks PR. Obviously, emulation is not perfect, but definitely better than not checking at all. | |
| Sep 9, 2020 at 15:16 | comment | added | Olivier Dulac | @BenKelly: I'd just advise (it's probably done): test with several different persons having several type of 'color vision deficiencies', as it is a common problem and this affects a lot of people (some webpages or charts rely only on color to convey some informations, and they are not useable by all). Whenever possible other means (graphics, signs, italics, etc) help as well (for syntax coloring, there is not much option, but contrast or thickness may help to help differentiate some colors. I'm quite sure the devs of the .js took this into account: it may even explain their color choices?) | |
| Sep 9, 2020 at 15:07 | comment | added | Olivier Dulac | @BenKelly: thank you! And about corrections: I'll let others much better than me answer that (and I personnally find it fine so far. And it is probably good to keep things as 'default/vanilla' as possible for now until it is validated and fully stress-tested, unless some glaring problem is pointed out) | |
