Target Audience: Staff

The aim of this session is to help participants apply best practices in the use of colour and contrast for accessible digital content. Ensuring sufficient contrast between text and background, and avoiding the use of colour alone to convey information are critical for improving content accessibility.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Explain the importance of contrast in making content accessible
• Apply best practices for ensuring sufficient contrast between text and graphics
• Use different strategies to avoid relying on colour alone to convey meaning

This session will focus on key principles, rather than platform-specific implementations. However, the considerations discussed can be applied regardless of platform.

These "Accessibility in brief" sessions provide a solid foundation to the techniques applied in our practical "Accessibility in practice" sessions.
