1.4.1 Use of Color

Problem description

There are some cases where links are only differentiated from other text by color, being grey as opposed to black. This makes it harder for users with low vision to separate links from other texts.

This one isn’t a WCAG-requirement, but it will be a severe problem for many users; many links aren’t visually differentiated from other text at all, they’re just black text. Without any visual way of identifying links, it’s just guesswork. For once a problem that only affects sighted users.

We strongly recommend that you use CSS to make sure all links are easily differentiated from other texts and use more than just color to do so.

Suggested solution

  • Make sure to identify all links as such, using not only colour. For example using blue, underlined text.
