Data Visualization and Color Accessibility

When designing for the web, you are designing for everyone. It can be easy to choose colors because they’re trendy or because you used them on your last project. Even harder, what do you do when your brand guidelines turn out to not be accessible? Sometimes your colors work on a white background, but then you suddenly need a dark theme and your buttons graphs and imagery are no longer accessible, and this can cause great eye strain and usability issues for your users. In this presentation we will learn about how to recognize color relationships specifically in data visualizations, and how to make your color palettes accessible.

In this session, attendees will learn:

How color affects the way people interpret data visualizations and how you can make sure your imagery is accessible.
