#Blind #WordPress users, how do you make sure your colors are #accessible? I was editing one of my posts and saw this message:
“This color combination may be hard for people to read. Try using a brighter background color and/or a darker link color.”
I’m using GeneratePress and want my site to be fully accessible to as many people as possible. Any tips for accessible color combinations or tools to check contrast?

@RareBird15 @mastoblind @main @accessibility I recently wrapped mentoring a team building an accessible site for a local non-profit as part of Knowbility’s AIR competition. They occasionally got those messages, but they were false positives due to some site CSS that overrode the colors the composer thought were problematic.
@jyarbrough @mastoblind @main @accessibility Okay that’s good to know. I also just installed WP Accessibility Helper to give my site an accessibility toolbar for anyone who needs it.
@RareBird15 @mastoblind @main @accessibility I’d recommend against a tool like that. They sound great, but almost always are just duplicating functionality that’s already built into modern browsers.
