Color should not be used as the only visual means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element. - w3.org
Color Independence
Colors are awesome, but they can't tell the whole story! Relying just on color for things like "offline" (red) or "online" (green) can leave some users in the dark, especially those with visual impairments. The same goes for color-coded charts where understanding depends solely on color. Don't ditch color coding entirely, but always pair it with clear labels or other visual cues to ensure everyone gets the message. Check out Grayscale Testing to get started.
