New in Rise 360: More Course Customization with Themes
Hello! I wanted to provide feedback regarding accessibility options with theming. I was a little surprised to see that some of the default color options are not considered accessible to all. For example, the orange will never pass an accessibility test. In fact, several of them don't. I realize you can customize with your own colors but I think maybe the default offerings should be revisited to ensure the color combinations are equally accessible to all learners. Thanks!
Hi there, Stephanie! Thanks so much for bringing this up. Right now, the Blueberry (navy) and Jelly (purple) default theme colors pass the contrast requirements for WCAG AA.
To design a course with accessibility in mind, be sure to choose a custom color that allows for a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 or higher for on-screen text so learners with low vision can read it. Here’s a helpful contrast checker to determine your contrast ratio.
