摘要
Experts suggest that incorporating quantitative color contrast evaluation into design tools will help designers to make informed, usable, and accessible color decisions. Moving the responsibility for usability evaluation to the design tool marks a significant paradigm shift. Many users are making design decisions while using a variety of software products. Providing users with dynamic color contrast feedback during the design process has the potential to make a significant impact. Designers use applications to create products that fill the world around the users. Changes to these tools will generally improve the readability of text in everyday life, including non-digital spaces. Advanced users and design professionals can also defend their color decisions with real data.
