I just wanted to say great blog post.
I also personally don’t have an issue with the orange text on the grey background. I can read it just fine on my iPhone.
However, I must caution that I am unsure how this text will fair to colorblind individuals. I am not colorblind. So, I am no expert.
From Brave AI:
Colorblind individuals may experience issues with orange text on a grey background due to the similarity in brightness and hue. For those with protanopia or deuteranopia, orange and grey can appear very similar, making the text difficult to read. This is because these types of colorblindness affect the perception of red and green, which are components of orange. Additionally, the low contrast between the orange text and the grey background can exacerbate the issue, making it hard for colorblind users to distinguish the text from the background.
To ensure better readability for colorblind users, it is recommended to use high-contrast color combinations and to avoid using color as the only means of conveying information. For example, using a darker or lighter shade of orange, or adding a border or background shape to the text, can help improve visibility. Alternatively, using a different color that provides better contrast, such as black or white, can also enhance readability.
I think what you wrote was insightful and a good read. Thanks for sharing!!
