Wow, I got that wrong. 0x5D is roughly luminance 0.36f so will only work with bright backgrounds. Not dark or mid-tone backgrounds like we see.
So another aspect of this bug is that the background is a mid-grey, which does not contrast with text that is #5d5d5d. The designed colours however seem to be more like #5d5d5d text on a white background, which would provide adequate contrast. So any buttons whose backgrounds are mid-tone grey either need black text, or a much lighter background to support mid-tone text like #5d5d5d. I think our design docs promote the latter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1372530 Title: Button text color doesn't offer great contrast, and looks disabled when it's not To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1372530/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
