لا تعتمد على اللون وحده

To many users, the red and green you chose look nearly the same. Using color alone to carry meaning leaves them guessing.

Roughly 1 in 12 men experience some form of color blindness. That is a huge slice of your audience, not a rare edge case.

The classic mistake is a red error and a green success that look identical to many users. Red-green confusion is the most common type by far.

WCAG criterion 1.4.1 says color must never be the only way to convey information. Always back it up with a second signal.

The simplest fix is words. Pair a red field with the label Error, so the meaning survives even when the color does not.

A check mark, a warning triangle, or an X gives meaning through shape. Now success and error differ even in grayscale.

A blue link in a gray paragraph can vanish for some users. Add an underline so links are obvious without relying on color.

Graphs that tell series apart by color only are a trap. Add patterns, direct labels, or distinct shapes to each line or slice.

Do not flag a bad field with a red border alone. Add an error message in text and an icon so everyone knows what failed.

Quick gut check: view your design in grayscale. If you can still tell states and links apart, you are not leaning on color alone.

Keeping the underline means links read clearly even for users who cannot perceive the color difference.

Decide the safest way to show a form error.

You learned to never let color be the only signal: add text, icons, shapes, or underlines so meaning reaches everyone. Next: checking contrast with tools. 🌈
