When your interface cannot rely on color alone
This page is not for “diagnosing design.” It exists to help teams understand where flows rely too heavily on color and where labels, icons, wording, or structure should carry more meaning.
It can help teams notice more quickly when a flow depends too heavily on color differentiation.
Real accessibility decisions still require design review, semantic checks, and feedback from real users.
If the screen suggests red-green confusion may matter, review icons, labels, wording, and contrast hierarchy instead of relying on color alone.
1. Identify color-only meaning first
Look for states, charts, or success/error cues that depend on red-vs-green color alone.
2. Add redundancy beyond color
Add copy, shape, iconography, or structure so the flow remains understandable even without color cues.
3. Validate with real user feedback
An online screen only gives the team a direction. Final design decisions still need validation with real users.
Because many interface failures are not about aesthetics. They happen when color is the only carrier of meaning. Screening pages help teams enter that discussion faster.
No. It is only one signal that points teams toward areas that deserve deeper review.
It is especially useful for product managers, designers, frontend engineers, and design-system reviewers.
