[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (DROOLS-3393) Please review scenario error cell text for legibility/accessibility.

[Klara Kufova (Jira)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-3393?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13670517#comment-13670517 ] 

Klara Kufova commented on DROOLS-3393:
--------------------------------------

In my opinion, using an icon would be redundant. The whole cell gets highlighted once it is detected as erroneous, so the distinction should be clear even for visually impaired users. I guess we could use for example a red "x" icon, but we would need to decide on the placement (before the cell content? After the cell content? What if the cell content is longer than the cell itself, then the icon might not even be visible.), which sounds too complicated to me for a situation where we already have a working solution.

> I noticed that the error text is a little "fuzzy" looking, the edges aren't very sharp and I was concerned that it might not be legible. I asked Danielle about the specs for it and it's the same size just bolded.  
> I did an online accessibility text using the following tool, with our current hex values: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/. It failed for level 3 compliance, but I'm not sure we need to shoot for that or not? I tried the darker PatternFly red color "#8b0000" and it passed at all levels, even at smaller sizes. 
> I'm wondering if we could use the darker red, in the non-bolded font? And if so, perhaps the text would be a little bit more legible. 
> Just wanted to ask about this, please let me know what you think.
