One thing I try to get away from is the gray font. I know it's all the rage and super pretty and all...but my learners are older and a lot of them have trouble with low contrast. It's a shame that Rise & Storyline templates default to grey font - I always have to update all my fonts.
- NicoleLegault16 years agoCommunity MemberThanks for sharing your comment, Angela! It's true that contrast is so important for readability!
- NinaHutchinson6 years agoCommunity MemberI agree, Angela. Having recently had cataract surgery, I can see lower contrast better now, but as the cataracts slowly grew, I had a hard time figuring out why I was having trouble reading things. Low contrast is a real problem for older adults, many of whom have cataracts "sneaking up on them".
The other contrast issue that I still fight with is on my Surface Pro. The shut down and other screens are pale teal-blue with SMALL WHITE font. It's pretty, but has very low usability.
