Change color on "You can't post an empty comment!" & login errors to make them more readable

Zydrolic

EDIT: Since people complain of it looking ugly (not the purpose of this still and never really mattered), gonna use black text instead since That appears to not fail at the WCAG rating.
#ffab1a (orange) & #fff (aka #FFFFFF (white)) don't mix very well and are a bit difficult to read.
Changing the text color to black could be really useful since its much more readable:

(note this is merely an example, edited version of #36)

Why don’t we use the high contrast control block color with black text? That would make it quite easy to read, and fit with the palette.

This could also work really well since there'd probably be less complaining and it's much more readible.

While the current one isn't that hard to see (as long as you arn't sleep deprived like I am rn), it'd be nice to have the second one, it is a bit uglier (maybe another, similar color?), but its way nicer to my eyes (which are, yet again, super sleep deprived)

I am not sleep-deprived, nor do I have any visual impairments, and I agree that the color could be changed to make it easier to read.

I seem to remember that something orange was changed to red in the purple update — was it the number of messages, as displayed inside the message box? Maybe that could be an alternative color to the proposed dark orange.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.

alright I will do a WCAG check
the current color contrast is:
1.89:1 (WCAG fail)
The second color is:
2.09:1 (WCAG fail)
The third color is:
2.5:1 (WCAG fail)
Well then none of those colors (the 2 last colors)
passed WCAG tests
this is compared to white text

I think you mean the muted or can't post an empty comment messages on scratchr2 pages, I think those were also yellow before the purple update but got changed to red, but I could be remembering way off wrong.

Either way I think changing it to red would also suffice incase people find it ugly

No, he's referring to the message count from inside the message page.

I feel like actual black (#000000) would actually seem more off-brand as the color palette “black” color is really a light gray (#575e75). Honestly, #575e75 would still probably have a decent contrast with the light orange, but it would look a lot less aesthetically pleasing than the dark red would.

Edit: Note that the red color is an accessible color that came with the color contrast update.

None of the “no support, it's already easy to see and it'll be ugly” posts are taking the main idea of this topic into account. None of the accessibility updates are supposed to be about looking pretty. Nor is it to comply with the law, although that is a big part of it.

Many users have been complaining about how they're unable to see on the site. Making a high-contrast Scratch was long overdue. I've talked many times on the forums about the pros outweighing the cons. The cons of leaving the site blue are enormous. There are tons of users trying to survive in a world geared toward users with perfect vision. Many kids were quite literally unable to use the site, and there were plenty of complaints about it. The only potential pro is that blue Scratch looks better to a number of people. But that's a subjective preference, which is nothing compared to allowing a group of Scratchers to suffer at the expense of aesthetics.

Keep in mind that the Scratch Team is highly likely to implement some kind of option sometime down the road. High contrast is something that needed to be done, but they can make it optional in the future, and they probably will. In fact, I daresay it'll be done within the decade. But I digress.

High contrast is incredibly important for many users, and all the backlash against this suggestion could be very discouraging for them, as there are users who can now see the website for the first time. You can have your own opinions on whether you like it or not, but please make sure you're being considerate of suffering minority groups in the process.

Can you please put this at/near the top of your signature and tell people that tag spam isn't allowed and it manipulates the algorithm, to start a chain and spread the word? - Thanks, @EDawg2011.

But then I had a very good idea. I used F5. See, using F5 gave me a whole new perspective and I was able to see a chest I couldn't have seen before.
