As a university, our digital platforms (from websites to apps) must meet The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to at least level AA. One aspect of accessibility is colour contrast and legibility.

Instead of applying coloured text to a tinted colour background the text should always stay a dark charcoal grey even when colour applied.

Currently most ‘lights’ and ‘brights’ in our
colour palette couldn’t be used (and it remain accessible). This is limiting our (and other clients) choice and flexibility for using colour to style the app.
