Use this issue to discuss colour in the NHS digital service manual.

One user today questioned if the hover colour is "dark pink". Calling it dark pink seemed to confuse. Is that the right name for it?

curious where the name came from. i would have probably gone with "purple". (wouldn't dark pink = red?)

It came from the NHS Identity Guidelines

I found this tool yesterday for checking colour contrasts - Contrast Grid by Eightshapes

NHS design system - Colour Contrast Grid

anandamaryon1 commented 5 months ago

A recent Accessibility audit of the Design System to WCAG 2.2 has raised the following point:

#d8dde0 ($nhsuk-border-color) can fail against a background of #F0F4F5 as it only has a colour contrast of 1.2:1, which is below the minimum of 3:1. Although this border may be sufficient against the content it is bordering. We appreciate that the colours used here will not be used in this way, but as part of our best practice methodology, we have reported this issue.

Impact on users
Users who have low vision, or are cognitively impaired, may have difficulty locating interactive elements or their borders. This will make it difficult for the user to interact with page content.

We will be investigating adding guidance to cover this in our upcoming work. Update: released in version 6.5.0
