developing Core requirement
Graphical Object Contrast Sufficient
Summary in Plain English
The parts of a graphic you need in order to understand it must meet a minimum contrast ratio. Where a particular presentation is essential to the information itself, the requirement does not apply.
Why It Matters
Icons, chart lines and diagram strokes carry meaning the same way text does. At low contrast that meaning disappears for people with low vision, and for anyone on a dim or glare-hit screen.
Scope: When This Applies
The draft's own conditions, quoted from guidelines/groups/images-and-media/single-sense/graphical-object-contrast-sufficient.md.
Except when
- a particular presentation of graphical objects is essential to the information being conveyed.
