cambridgeport90 Speaking o color schemes...considering I always try and make my web site as accessible as possible to as many people as possible, even though personal sites don't have to comply with WCAG requirements, just because they don't have to, doesn't necessarily mean that they shouldn't. How can you compormise with color schemes, then?

[Jan_Tuomi] I keep my sites so minimal and brutalist-looking that WCAG criteria are easy to meet 😅

#
[qubyte] I took an axiomatic approach to accessibility (the text is the opposite hue (in HSL, so not perfect) to the background colour 😅
#
[qubyte] *so the text is the opposite hue to the background
#
[qubyte] In light mode that is. In dark mode I’ve avoided white text on black because it can be too stark.
#
[Jan_Tuomi] Yeah. OLED screen users probably enjoy full black but I use a tasteful `#222`
#
capjamesg I use a white background in light mode with black text. My links are a sufficiently dark blue (#4169e1) colour so as to be compliant with WCAG AA.
#
capjamesg In dark mode, my links change to a green colour and the background to a dark navy colour. I haven't done an accessibility test on that colour scheme yet. I should!

#
[qubyte] OLED is why is use pure black, yup. My choices for light mode stemmed from knowing some folk who struggled with black on white, so I tilted things.

#
[KevinMarks] The advice is not to change the black of the text but the white background.
#
[KevinMarks] Pure black is good anyway as a background, you never know how much spill light they have.
#
[qubyte] Originally I had black on beige. I was going for a sort of classic look, but it was just boring. Spicing up the beige and tilting the text to a deep blue felt like it added some playfulness. https://qubyte.codes/blog/a-brighter-shade-of-beige
