Introduction
The colors you use in your applications affect accessibility for users with low vision and for users with a color deficiency such as color blindness. Section 508 includes several requirements and functional criteria related to color and contrast. Currently, Flash cannot meet some of these requirements, so it is very important that you follow the others to make your applications as accessible as possible.
In this lesson, you will learn about the importance of sufficient color contrast and of not using color alone to convey information. You will learn how Section 508 interoperability requirements apply to color and contrast in Flash, and you will learn about providing users with color and contrast options. The technical part of this lesson covers procedures for testing contrast, for providing user options and for ensuring the appropriate use of color in Flash.
