Re: CFC Add User Interface Component Contrast (Minimum) to Editors Draft

Hey James,
While we wait for the minutes...take a look at the proposed SC text for
User Interface Component Contrast (especially the notes at the end). Let
me know if you have any questions.
*PROPOSED 1.4.14 User Interface Component Contrast (Minimum)*
Essential visual identifiers of user interface components have a contrast
ratio of at least 4.5:1 against the immediate surrounding color(s), except
for the following situations:
 - *Thicker:* A contrast ratio of at least 3:1 is required where the
 minimum width and height are at least 3 CSS pixels, for the essential
 visual identifier.
 - *Inactive:* Disabled or otherwise inactive user interface components
 - *User agent control:* The color(s) of the user interface component
 and any adjacent color(s) are determined by the user agent and are not
 modified by the author.
*Notes*
 - Examples of essential visual indicators of user interface components
 may include (a border, edge, or icon), current value (such as non-text
 visual indication of aria-valuenow on a slider) and current
state (such as
 selection indicator, focus indicator) or other essential visual
indication
 (which do not rely on color alone).
 - *Under consideration*: simplify this Success Criterion by setting
 the minimum color contrast requirement to 3:1 and removing any need for
 measuring thickness.
 - *Under consideration:* will review to see if it is possible to
 combine with proposed WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.11 Graphics Contrast.
