The light was beautiful as it passed through the tree in my back yard, this morning. It wasn't until I took the photo off my camera that I noticed some drops of water, despite the frigid temperature.

A closeup of a frozen tree branch, contrasted against a blue background.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: the castor oil plant, on the balcony.

Bright green against a black background, the architectural form of leaves stands stark contrast: palmate, like a hand; or a green fan.

In the monochrome cityscape, shadows and light dance in a silent ballet, carving out the silhouettes of Nagoya's everyday scenery. 🏘️🚦

モノクロの都市風景で、影と光が静かなバレエを踊り、名古屋の日常の風景を彫り出します。🌆🖤

This photograph captures a typical afternoon in a Nagoya neighborhood in high contrast monochrome. Buildings, both residential and utility, are defined by their sharp silhouettes against a bright sky, punctuated by a network of power lines. In the center, a single spotlight attached to a pole stands out, a sentinel in the urban tapestry. The play of light and shadow creates a dramatic and yet commonplace snapshot of urban Japan.

Rust meets azure, with an electric transformer holding court in between⚡. Light and shadow play a dance, highlighting the overlooked elegance in the ordinary🏙️. 錆びた鉄と青い空、その間で変電器が静かに佇む🔌。光と影が織りなすコントラストが、見過ごされがちな日常の美しさを際立たせる🌆。#streetphotography #streetphotographyjapan #griiix #ricoh_gr #aichi #nagoya #japan #contrast #transformer

This photograph from Nagoya showcases an urban scene where a stark electrical transformer perched atop a utility pole commands the focus. The transformer, along with the surrounding infrastructure, casts a network of shadows across the textured rust of a corrugated metal building and the pale turquoise paint of a concrete wall. The bright blue sky provides a vivid backdrop to the scene, filled with crisp lines and industrial materials. You know what they say about transformers: more than meets the eye.

What do Mark Zuckerberg, Prince William and Keanu Reeves have in common? 🤔

Apart from being white men, they are all colorblind.

September 6th (today) is #ColorBlindess Awareness Day! 👀🎨

Let's try not to make it harder for people with color deficiencies in our own designs. Use good #contrast in your #design, and think twice about #ColorCombinations.

Together we can work towards #inclusion and #accessibility.

"if you really hate someone, teach them to recognize bad kerning"...

...Yeah, and also bad contrast...

Love @xkcd but jeeze, legit not enough contrast for me to see the bad kerning...😳🥺😎

https://xkcd.com/1015/

An xkcd comic, with two stick figures looking at a gray rectangle on a wall, one of them says 'Argh!' with an exclamation mark, The other one says 'what?'. The caption at the bottom says 'if you really hate someone, teach them to recognize bad kerning'. And the rectangle on the wall contains badly spaced letters C . ITY OFFIC . ES but should read 'city offices'.

Prolixity: excessively verbose writing.

And verbose, dense writing has occasionally created a barrier to understanding APCA, the accessible and perceptually uniform contrast method.

To make it easier, we've pared things down to bare essentials and placed them in a linktree.

Random photo of the day.

Toronto's Gooderham Building stands a stark contrast to the modern skyscrapers of the city. This flatiron-style architecture shows red brick and copper trim, with a copper inverted cone roof on the narrow corner. A black iron fire escape runs down the exposed side of the building.

In the background, to the left, the tall TD Bank office tower stretches skyward. On the right side of the photo, an apartment skyscraper reaches up.

The photo was shot on a slant, making the buildings seem to tilt to the right of the frame.

The following info graphic is intended to demonstrate the nature of human contrast sensitivity, using text samples to connect the abstract science to practical reality.

It's based on infographics I originally created several years ago, but it recently got a bit of attention on Twitter, and I'm reminded that there's still a need to distribute this knowledge.

More info and description in the ALT

This is a chart of the human contrast sensitivity curve. A blue line curves down to the right where the Y axis is contrast sensitivity, and the X access is spatial frequency, increasing toward the right. An increase in spatial frequency means elements are smaller and thinner.

On the right of this info graphic are samples of text from very large and bold to very thin and small, with red lead lines indicating approximately where those samples fall on the contrast sensitivity curve.

All of the text samples are at the exact same CSS color of #c7c7c7, the top very large and bold headline is legible but as the fonts become thinner and smaller they literally fade out as if becoming lighter gray, even though they are all at the exact same color.

LEGALLY READABLE (a thread)

APCA is not official per WCAG 3 yet, as WCAG3 is undergoing major changes, particularly to the conformance model.

However APCA is also an independent standard as part of the IRT-RC (Inclusive Reading Technologies Readability Criterion), this is useable per the public beta, and comments are encouraged.

In the majority of the world in most contexts, WCAG 2.x is not strict "law" and designers may use alternate standards. Including the USAB-508 under the "alternate facilitation" rule. (Regions or contracts vary so determine your requirements).

Considering the serious flaws in WCAG 2.x contrast, those who can should be encouraged to use standards that promote actual accessibility, such as APCA/IRT-RC.

Cool way to make text high contrast against a background color. The trick is about halfway down: 1) set the text color to the background 2) apply a filter to inverse and bump the contrast to 9. https://css-tricks.com/methods-contrasting-text-backgrounds/ #Contrast #Accessibility
