ImportantEnsure that text and background colors have a 7:1 contrast ratio. WCAG 2.0 AAA 1.4.6

Some users find it hard to read light gray text on a white background, dark gray text on a black background and white text on a red background.

Note: The default link color in IE11 has poor contrast on a white background. Fix by specifying a:link and a:visited colors in CSS.

  • The contrast ratio should be 4.5 or more for 18 point text, or larger
  • The contrast ratio should be 4.5 or more for 14 point bold text, or larger
  • The contrast ratio should be 7.0 or more for all other text
The text color to background color contrast ratio is:
5.76 with color: rgb(184,56,48);background-color: rgb(255,255,255);font-size: 10.50pt;font-weight: 700.00;

ImportantSeveral links on a page share the same link text, but go to different destinations. WCAG 2.0 AAA 2.4.9
Make the link text unique for each target, or add additional text using aria-label.

Additional link text added with the TITLE attribute doesn't work in:

  • NVDA 2018.4 with IE11 (the link title isn't read when tabbing)
  • NVDA 2016.3 with IE11 (the link title isn't read when tabbing)
  • NVDA 2016.2 with IE11 (the link title isn't read when tabbing)
  • VoiceOver iOS 11.4 (the link title isn't read)
