Lyrics
VERSE 1:
In a world of screens and digital dreams,
Not everyone can see what appears,
Success Criterion 1.4.11 brings light,
Making visuals crisp and clear.
When buttons fade to backgrounds pale,
And icons blend into the air,
We need contrast of three-to-one,
So everyone can see what’s there.
CHORUS:
See the contrast, three-to-one,
Let interfaces shine for everyone.
User controls and graphical parts,
Need to stand out from the start.
Non-text Contrast, remember well,
Makes digital worlds accessible.
VERSE 2:
A checkbox needs a border dark,
A toggle switch must clearly show,
Charts and graphs with lines defined,
So data stories everyone knows.
But logos and photos need not comply,
And inactive controls can rest.
When low vision meets your design,
Three-to-one contrast is best.
CHORUS:
See the contrast, three-to-one,
Let interfaces shine for everyone.
User controls and graphical parts,
Need to stand out from the start.
Non-text Contrast, remember well,
Makes digital worlds accessible.
BRIDGE:
Not just for few, but for all to see,
This is what inclusion means to me.
When graphics speak clearly without words,
Every voice can finally be heard.
Three-to-one, a simple rule,
Makes your design a powerful tool.
