--- Comment #17 from Quiddity <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Ryan Kaldari from comment #14) > @Quiddity: I changed the text color to #222222 since that is closer to the > original Typography Refresh value (#252525). Let me know if that is > acceptable. That is great. Much thanks. (In reply to Jared Zimmerman (WMF) from comment #13) > @Quiddity, I uploaded a quick color test, easier to visualize this way. Thank you! Mockups are much easier to understand and comment on, than pure code. :) Much like the "type-size selector" that NYTimes uses (and I believe we're planning on implementing eventually) - https://i.imgur.com/7U3yAoF.png - it would be lovely to have 2 or 3 options for color-changes. This would enable us to use many more of the intriguing ideas in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unsolicited_redesigns#Unsolicited_redesigns_of_Wikipedia and past community discussions, without upsetting anyone by altering the global defaults in ways that will please some but dismay others. But that's something for the future. For now: * #777 is not even WCAG AA compliant, and should not be used anywhere, unless the text is huge. (cf. http://snook.ca/technical/colour_contrast/colour.html ) * #222 (body) with #555 (caption) is passable, but will result in negative reactions from large numbers of editors and readers (and positive reactions from a few). * #000 or #111 (body) with #333 (caption), would be my recommendation, for a happy release of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/133301/ - That would achieve the subtle contrast that is wanted, but without making the text harder to read for people with accessibility issues (bad screens, bright backlighting, old eyes, etc). It would also improve the look of long captions with links, without having to create custom styles for links-within-captions. eg. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kronan_%28ship%29#Sinking -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
