1
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,580
There's something about great design

2
00:00:07,581 --> 00:00:10,740
that allows it to go practically unnoticed.

3
00:00:10,741 --> 00:00:15,000
But it doesn't take much to make things confusing and frustrating.

4
00:00:15,020 --> 00:00:20,900
Choosing colors with poor contrast makes navigating, reading, and interacting a real pain.

5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,880
Good design means sufficient contrast between foreground and background colors.

6
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:30,820
That's not just text and images but links, icons, and buttons.

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,720
If it's important enough to be seen, then it needs to be clear.

8
00:00:34,740 --> 00:00:38,800
And this is essential for people with low contrast sensitivity.

9
00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:41,640
Which becomes more common as we age.

10
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:44,720
With good colors, websites and applications

11
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:47,980
can be easier to use in more situations.

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,620
Like in different lighting conditions.

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,880
Web accessibility: Essential for some, useful for all.
