Talk:Comment Summary 1-4-11

From WCAG WG

Link to version Alastair is working on: http://rawgit.com/alastc/wcag21/graphics-contrast/guidelines/index.html#graphics-contrast

Based on survey responses and discussion during the call on 11/14, follows is a suggestion from Bruce suggests. This closely tracks 1.4.3, substituting “non-text content” for “text and images of text” and adding the Sensory exception from 1.1.1. This version only uses terms and phrasing that are already in 2.0. The “provided for understanding and operating” comes from 1.3.3.

1.4.11 Graphics Contrast: The visual presentation of focus indicators, user interface components, and parts of non-text content provided for understanding and operating the Web page have a contrast ratio of 3:1, except for the following: (Level AA)

  • Incidental: Inactive user interface components, or those that are not visible to anyone, have no contrast requirement;
  • Logotypes: Non-text content that is part of a logo or brand name has no contrast requirement;
  • Sensory: Non-text content that is primarily intended to create a specific sensory experience has no contrast requirement.
