Abstract:
The present work highlights the perceptibility of digital content for people with color blindness. It presents a pragmatic requirements catalog for user interface programmers and developers, devising layouts and digital prototypes that are to incorporate a mode for color blindness. Criteria catalogs, such as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 are used for determining the requirements. A tool is employed to analyze the contrast of digital contents. Based on the results and the criteria of WCAG 2.1, an actionable catalog of requirements is presented. This work enables the determination of aspects of particular relevance. The paper thus provides information on color blindness and visual impairments, as well as a guideline that provides interested developers with "best practices" to optimize web applications in terms of accessibility and to utilize as a guide.
