Solutions for Creating Accessible Tables with Color

Date & Time

Platinum 6 (LIVESTREAM)  

Description

One of the biggest hurdles in accessible tables is how to overcome the WCAG 1.4.1 Use of Color rules. WCAG says that color cannot be the only means of identifying information. This session explores several options that allow content creators to use color and secondary markers to meet the minimum requirements for this success criteria. We will also explore several alternate techniques in presenting rich user experiences for other table-based infographics.
