Hi Alexander,

Thank you for the kind words.

I've checked the color contrast and it seems to range between 3.2 and 4.7 with a mean contrast at 4.0, which borders on problematic (the recommendation is 4.5), but doesn't seem terribly inaccessible, especially since it's only used on a handful of links and not the entire text.

I will add this to my list of "along the way" improvements for a final run, trying to bump the contrast ratio to a more steady 4.5+.


Since you appear to be keen on accessibility: If you have specific issues that you would like to raise to and, preferably, advice on how to improve them, I'm all ears. I'm pointing that out because "doesn't /look/ accessible" (my emphasis) doesn't give me that much to work with and I hope it's obvious that following WCAG2.0 "as strictly as possible" is not feasible for a volunteer.

While I agree that accessibility is a very important aspect to pay attention to, I would appreciate not getting too lost in details like this at this stage in the process. The intent of my PR is to replace the current site design, not iron out every possible issue with it (similar contrast concerns are valid for the current site, for example the community section - that we fixed... by removing it - goes as low as 2.3 in terms of contrast) and certainly not attain a "universal design" (which, admittedly, I'm not sure I fully understand the meaning of).


That being said, I appreciate that my PR apparently continues to foster a level of bikeshedding (with occasional compliments thrown in) that seems to suggest that there isn't much objection to it ;-) So - since my time is limited, I hope we can move ahead with the PR some time soon and move the more detailed analysis to followup tickets.

best regards,
David

The pink on purple doesn't look accessible. I.e. there is too low
contrast. Please try to make sure WCAG 2.0 is adhered to as strictly
as possible in order to ensure universal design that doesn't
discriminate against people with disabilities.

Thanks to David for working on this!
