Relying on color alone to communicate information causes barriers to access for people. Many individuals with color deficiencies, colorblind, different cognitive abilities, and low vision users may not be able to perceive the color differences, and screen readers do not announce colors to non-sighted users. When you create a document, please consider your color choice and how you convey the message. Deliver your message in multiple modalities and apply accessible design.
