[ARCHIVED] Poor Text Contrast Even With High Contrast Turned On

Hi - I have the High Contrast setting turned on, but is there a way to change the text color from gray to black as I find the contrast very poor. In fact, I assumed I had high contrast turned off and was surprised and disappointed to find it was turned on.

For a platform as good as Canvas, it seems like they missed a big feature here unless I'm not aware of it?

Thanks!

Steve

Yes, but still an accessibility issue! High contrast ratios are an accessibility standard, and we design, or should design, for accessibility.  We don't just design courses, we design good courses, and good courses can be used by almost everybody!

"WCAG 2.1 requires a contrast ratio of at least 3:1 for graphics and user interface components (such as form input borders). WCAG Level AAA requires a contrast ratio of at least 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text."

See Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Overview
