This article discusses the color theme used in the platform and how the color theme relates to accessibility.
Current platform color theme
Our platform uses the Udemy Business color palette for a standardized color theme throughout the platform, which assists our organization in meeting WCAG compliance for contrast. We are also working to change other platform colors to meet AA compliance. Below are common questions related to the color theme used in the platform.
Frequently asked questions
- Are there additional color options (still WCAG compliant) we can explore for our site? There are not currently any available color options to explore at this time as this is a systematic approach to using WCAG coloration while solving accessibility issues across all clients.
- What is the likelihood of the color theme changing to another theme in the future? Either resulting from a company decision or an accessibility compliance decision? There are no plans to change the default color theme in the future. However, there are several colors used throughout the platform that we will continue to analyze and update accordingly based on WCAG compliance and company branding design standard best practices in the future. For example, color settings can also affect users with light sensitivities, not just those with color blindness. Our primary commitment is full WCAG compliance for all users.
- How was the color change in the platform determined from an accessibility standpoint? The Udemy Business color theme was selected because it represents our brand family of colors and leverages the optimal colors to use for contrast with respect to WCAG compliance.
