Is there a standard or recommendation for minimum color contrast in a software UI?
I will be using a white background for editable data and a light gray background for read-only data. The text in both cases is black and is quite readable. What I am unsure of is how light I can make the read-only cells' gray background so that it is attractive and minimally intrusive, but still differentiable for users with low vision, screen glare, or projectors. Unfortunately, all web searches are turning up tools and guidelines around the contrast of foreground and background, not the comparison of two different backgrounds. Any help or URLs will be appreciated! Thanks in advance, Sarah Kampman ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
