Color contrast issues #35

Closed pll33 closed 7 years ago

Hey, I recently came across the Washington Post article about your project through a recent story about fake news. Congrats on being featured!

Very interesting stuff, but I couldn't help but notice the color contrast on the verification badges (verified, unverified) made it hard to see and read. Especially for those with color blindness/deficiency problems, it would be difficult to see the unverified badge (deuteranope).

I fumbled around with color combinations for a few minutes and while not perfect, here's what I came up with (deuteranope). Feel free to use that or another high-contrast combination (see: color contrast tool).

Though not a huge technical problem, I think it would definitely help with visibility when someone uses the tool in the future.

Thanks for your work and keep it up!

Yellow and Green, while having a great contrast, do not fit into the general theme of Facebook's website and would be an eyesore to anyone using this extension. However, I will look into this concept and see how we can improve our color scheme. Thanks!
