Insufficient color contrast fails WCAG

  • Hello,

    I’ve been playing around with this theme and really like it but I have one major issue. My vision may not be perfect but I have noticed my eyes were strained when reading the content.

    A quick look in the inspector shows the body fonts default value is #929292. Seriously?! Why not move even closer towards #fff

    I think you should look into some of the accessibility checkers online as currently the contrast fails WCAG AA / Section 508

    I simply don’t understand why this trend is fashionable with theme creators. Content is king so it surely is follows that we should be able to read it clearly. I know it is easily changed but I feel it should be a default option to help promote accessibility amongst the community.

  • Hello,

    You can change it as per your need after activating the theme. We use the today current design.

    I know you can change this after activating the theme – I acknowledged this above.

    My original point is that you have this as the default colour. So by default when activated your theme fails WCAG / Section 508.

    Okay, I understand your point. But there is an option to change the default values.
