A thread on resources I find helpful for building accessibility into posters, sites, & slides: #ScienceTwitter
-Color Oracle (colororacle.org). Filters over your screen to approx how it would look to someone with a common color deficiency. Also has a grayscale feature.
- WebAim: Contrast Checker (webaim.org/resources/cont…). Checks if a foreground & background color combo is readable & meets the WCAG AA/AAA standard.
- WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool (wave.webaim.org). Checks elements of HTML code against accessibility standards.
