Android Mobile App.

Problem:
The purple text select highlight color that is revealed when selecting text in a note that is being edited (in dark mode) does not have enough contrast to meet minimum accessibility requirements.
It’s a real problem for vision impaired users.
It’s also very hard to see accurately and clearly in general.

Solution:
Make sure all interface color modes (skins) i.e. Dark Mode, Light Mode and any Custom Color modes have a text select highlight color and shade to that meets minimum accessibility requirements for contrast.

For example:
The text select highlight color on this forum is a lot better than the Android app. It’s really a matter of sacrificing an aesthetic choice to improve usability.

  • Section 508:

This U.S. law mandates accessibility for federal government information and communication technology, which can be a useful benchmark.

  • Contrast is listed.

In the meantime, you can use theme or snippet.
