Hello

Signature colors

Hi. The username in your signature is difficult to read due to low contrast with white. Please read the policy for signature appearance at WP:SIGAPP. In particular, the Note where it discusses contrast and recommends a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1. Contrast ratios for the colors in your signature's username, as of this edit, are:

• "LawnGreen" - hex code #7CFC00 - contrast ratio 1.3:1 - N
• "LimeGreen" - hex code #32CD32 - contrast ratio 2.1:1 - N
• "Green" - hex code #008000 - contrast ratio 5.1:1 - Y

Can you change your colors?

In my opinion even the Ke is difficult to read, at least on my laptop. It's just barely above the minimum contrast and your choice of font results in very thin lines. But I won't press that point.

Also, once changed, you might want to replace your entry at Wikipedia:Signature tutorial#Real-life examples, as the username there is too tiny to read easily. ―Mandruss ☎ 08:53, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, Mandruss! It's actually funny that you posted this today, because I just came across the signature accessibility guidelines last night. I've been experimenting with some options since then, so I think my current signature should be easier to read. It has contrast ratios of:

• DarkRed – hex code #8B0000 – contrast ratio 10.01:1 Y
• MediumBlue – hex code #0000CD – contrast ratio 11.16:1 Y
• Indigo – hex code #4B0082 – contrast ratio 12.95:1 Y

If you think there's still a problem with my signature, please let me know and I'll do my best to fix it. Thanks for fighting the good fight for accessibility and low-contrast screens. :) SaAnKe 15:13, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

By the way – I don't really know what the policy is when you change your signature for accessibility/readability reasons. Am I supposed to go back and change all of them? SaAnKe 15:54, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Ah, looks so much better! No, you just leave the existing ones. Thanks! ―Mandruss ☎ 18:07, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
