From 9e58a36915bb1fe8cf88423c9519c0c12dbbf2e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Cleberg Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 20:25:01 -0500 Subject: fix(a11y): rebalance the light palette so hues survive MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Reported as "colors seem muted and hard to see on light mode", and correct. The light palette optimised contrast and produced mud: #7A5600 reads olive rather than amber, #146C2E bottle-dark rather than green. Contrast passed while the UI got harder to read, because hue identity is what distinguishes warning from critical at a glance. Two causes, both fixed. Every foreground was required to clear 4.5:1 against its own 16% badge tint — the harshest surface it ever sits on — which pushed each colour about 20% darker than the common case needed. Most of what is actually on screen is plain text on a card, with far more headroom. The fill is now decoupled from the foreground: AppStatusTone carries a foreground and a surface authored independently, with matching …Surface colorsets, so a foreground no longer has to survive a wash of itself. Every status foreground is now fully saturated. And warning was yellow. Yellow cannot stay yellow at a lightness low enough to pass 4.5:1 on white — it becomes olive. That is colorimetric, not a tuning problem. Warning is now orange: #AD5100 light, #FF9F0A dark. New light values: positive #008035, warning #AD5100, critical #CC0700. Worst-case ratios 4.54–6.76 across page, card, and surface in both schemes. Audit findings are unchanged — light 21, dark 18 — so the vividness costs nothing. Also picks up a literal .blue missed in phase 1: DomainDiffItem's low-severity change colour, which the phase 1 sweep did not cover because its pattern listed only cyan/yellow/green/red/orange/pink. --- DomainDig/HistoryView.swift | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'DomainDig/HistoryView.swift') diff --git a/DomainDig/HistoryView.swift b/DomainDig/HistoryView.swift index 5b788c3..f291c81 100644 --- a/DomainDig/HistoryView.swift +++ b/DomainDig/HistoryView.swift @@ -56,7 +56,7 @@ struct HistoryView: View { title: severity.title, systemImage: "arrow.triangle.2.circlepath", foregroundColor: severity == .high ?
