Comments on: Bad Color Contrast, Analysis of New ReadWriteWeb Design http://www.designvsart.com/blog/2007/12/18/bad-color-contrast-analysis-of-new-readwriteweb-design/ The ultimate blog to Design vs Art Sat, 05 Jul 2008 10:29:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Alexis Brion http://www.designvsart.com/blog/2007/12/18/bad-color-contrast-analysis-of-new-readwriteweb-design/#comment-1802 Alexis Brion Tue, 18 Dec 2007 23:30:31 +0000 http://www.designvsart.com/blog/2007/12/18/bad-color-contrast-analysis-of-new-readwriteweb-design/#comment-1802 Thank you for your comment. I have been looking at your blog and it seems that you know a lot about colors. Still, I think that ReadWriteWeb does not have the most happy combination of colors, seen from the usability point of view. I myself don't feel comfortable reading red on white and vice versa, and I think this could also be a problem for a lot of people, many users with visual disabilities already have problems reading other friendlier color combinations. Please keep in mind that I am not talking about art, but more about usability. Interesting comment and thanks for the link to your blog! Thank you for your comment.

No they're not. The contrast between green and red is the most common trouble contrast. But that's no issue in your example... “Actually, the red on white and the green on white are the most common trouble contrast options.”
