Color and contrast adaptation

Color and contrast choices significantly impact interface accessibility across Apple platforms. Good color usage ensures content remains visible for users with different visual needs.

Key color considerations:

• Contrast ratios: Maintain minimum contrast between text and backgrounds. Text requires higher contrast ratios at smaller sizes, while large text can use slightly lower ratios.
• Color independence: Ensure interfaces work without relying on color alone. Use additional visual cues like icons, patterns, or labels to convey information.
• System support: Respect user preferences for increased contrast and reduced transparency. Test with different color filters and Smart Invert to ensure content remains clear.

Verify color choices work for color-blind users. Test interfaces in grayscale to ensure important information remains distinguishable. Check contrast ratios meet accessibility guidelines.
