PSA: the free online contrast checker was right about my pale yellow buttons, and I owe it an apology
For 11 months I skipped checking because I trusted my eye on a bright monitor, then one guy at a meetup in Denver said his dad could not read the buttons at all. Ran it through the checker that night and got a 2.4 ratio, way under the 4.5 you need for normal text. Anybody else been burned by trusting your own screen brightness over an actual number?
