Long time no see, what's going on?

Developers can answer 9 out of 10 questions with "it depends".

Accessibility-people have their own version: "but people are creative"
For example: Does this WCAG SC apply?
- Probably not, but people are creative.

Because my goodness, people can be so creative.

Anyone still here?

Every time I ask people digital #accessibility conferences they name some. When I present my requirements: high quality, in person, great community, no sales talks, in Europe, the list thins itself almost out of existence.

OK @kevinpowell has written what has to be one of the best (if not THE best) practical article on #CSS colors I have read in a while. https://piccalil.li/blog/a-pragmatic-guide-to-modern-css-colours-part-one/

Accessibility isn't a one-time task, it's an ongoing commitment.

You need to integrate it into your daily processes and continuously work to improve it.

Regularly audit your work and address any new issues that you find.
