Using colour

Do not use colour to convey information. For example, don’t put some information in green and others in red to indicate whether something has been complete or not.

Not all people can perceive colour in the same way as you or I. Therefore, we must ensure everyone can see the information we have presented.

Do not use foreground and background colours that are not providing good contrast. Check the contrast of text using a tool like contrastchecker.
