Tips for your Readme and Data Dictionaries - Consider Lexend, Arial, and Helvetica fonts when writing your data documentation.
- Use bulleted lists (like this one) that can be identified by screen readers.
- Include appropriate heading levels throughout your documentation.
- Keep font sizing at a minimum of 12px.
Color Accessibility - Aim for colors that have high contrast with one another.
- Be mindful of your content being friendly for readers with color blindness; avoid the use of red/green or blue/orange together.
- Refer to the UIUC's branding kit to learn what shades of blue and orange pair together.
- Use the WebAIM Contrast Checker to verify that the colors and sizes you’ve chosen work together.
