We have relaunched threee days ago our new design here
http://www.webnauts.net and we have we have the following problem(?).
We use for the main navigation an orange color image, with a kind of
white font color, which the contrast between the foreground
and background are obviously not efficient!
Then why not do something about that?
Though, when users disable the images of the page, they are provided
with a purple background and a kind of white font color,
which colors are definitely efficient.
It seems odd to design the colour scheme to be completely different if
images are disabled. Generally speaking, background colour should (if
possible) approximate the colour of the image its being used in place
of. However, in this case, because of the contrast issue, you could
try, for example, using a darker orange or using the same orange and
choosing an alternate text colour.
Would you consider that as an accessibility failure?
It is the colour scheme with images enabled is barely legible for a
portion of users, then that is an accessibility issue. Legibility
should, ideally, be just as good with or without images.
