Colored Bands for the Science station has poor accessability #2064

Closed parracodea closed 5 months ago

The blue band in the Scanning mini-game and around the Science station is a bit difficult to see against a dark background.

I entered the colors into a Contrast Checker site, and it came back with a "FAIL":

In fact, Red failed as well; only Green passed:

It would be nice to improve the accessibility. Possible solutions would be to pick different colors (Cyan/Magenta/Yellow?), or choose a lighter shade of Red/Green/Blue.

I created some mock-ups of alternative color options:

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow

Personally, this looks too "Easter"-y.

Red, Yellow, Green

RGB has a certain "science" feel to it that RYG loses. There's probably also some contrast issues between the lime-green and yellow (at least in this mock-up)
