Color Contrast and Fonts: Easy Fixes That Make a Big Difference
Not everyone sees color or reads text the same way. Good design choices make your content readable for all.
Use high contrast: Light text on a dark background (or vice versa) is easier to read. Avoid low-contrast color combos like red on black.
Choose readable fonts: Sans serif fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Verdana are easier to read on screens. Avoid fancy or decorative fonts.
Keep text size readable: Aim for at least 12pt text and make sure it resizes well on mobile devices.
Use free tools like WebAIM’s contrast checker to confirm your choices. Design is more than looks—it’s access.
