6.2 Small Font Sizes or Insufficient Colour Contrast

Affected Group: All Persons with Disabilities

Design websites with larger font sizes and use high contrast colour schemes.

Visually impaired users require sufficient colour contrast between the text and its background. It is also important to allow user to enlarge the font size. Those setup can make it easier to read, especially for elderly and users with poor vision.

In addition, please ensure that the website is compatible with built-in browser zoom in/out functions, so that there is no missing information, or overlapping content after font enlarged that affect the readability of the content.

Text with low colour contrast with its background - make it difficult to distinguish between different elements. The absence of font enlarge feature may also reduce the readability of the page.
