The Ultimate Guide to Signup Form Accessibility

Finding the optimal color contrast

At least 2.2 billion people worldwide have far or near vision impairment (source). This statistic means many users struggle to fill out signup forms that don't have accessible color contrast. Not only does this increase the user's task time, but it can also cause trust issues, which leads to form abandonment.

Below is an example of a signup form with inaccessible color contrast. Notice how hard the field labels and input are to read and how hard the field borders are to perceive. Making signup forms accessible can be challenging, but this guide will help you achieve the optimal color contrast with minimal effort.
