Accessible UI for Color-Blind Users
According to non-profit organization Color Blind Awareness, 8% of men and 0.5% of women in the world suffer from color blindness. It is crucial to develop websites that are accessible to color-blind users. I will first go over the accessibility guidelines on color and contrast from W3C as well as a series of dos and don’ts examples. I will then dive into a set of new non-color-based animations and transitions. These can be used to provide interaction feedback (active state, select state, etc) using SVG and D3.js. The attendees will walk away with useful tools and principles to build accessible UI for color-blind users.
