accent color hue picker as regular picker

The reasons are detailed at https://github.com/WordPress/twentytwenty/issues/284 but in short, it’s to ensure that the accent colors always met accessibility standards for visitors with limited vision, as accessibility was one of the primary focuses of this theme’s development.

@raqai I am in complete agreement with your points. The accessibility “argument” is a joke. This weird slider is offering (mainly) green and red choices. Red and green is a No GO with regard to accessibility since around 9% of the people have a red/green color blindness. And you can’t really speak of a “choice” with this ridiculous slider.

Congratulations on not having limited vision that struggles with contrast.

That’s a ridiculous point.

This slider is a step in the right direction for accessibility, but sure if you want 100% accessibility that also takes into account the various types of color blindness, then by all means please feel free to have a strictly black and white site.

And you can’t really speak of a “choice” with this ridiculous slider.

Then don’t use the slider: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-can-i-change-the-link-color-to-a-specific-hexcode/#post-12130660

Hi James,
thanks for the info and clarification.

Is it possible to implement something like this in a future version? Or is this theme not going to be updated anymore?

Based on the development discussion at https://github.com/WordPress/twentytwenty/issues/284 I suspect not.

That’s a ridiculous point.

red/green blindness is a ridiculous point? Hmmm … interesting.

I’m well aware of that.

Suggesting that an accessibility feature for visitors with limited vision should not be implemented because it does not yet take into account 100% of visual impairments is a ridiculous point.

If we can satisfy even just 70% of all cases, we absolutely should do everything we can to accommodate those. We’ll get to that remaining 30% eventually, technology willing, but to disregard that 70% just because we can’t reach 100% is ridiculous and irresponsible.

We’re well into rant territory now, so I’ll close this.
