Accessibility - Contrast Function

[ghost]

As a developer

I would like
A wireframe design and justification that showcases a modular prompt option to alter the contrast etc, with a accessibility panel to prompt the user that they can use a series of accessibility options including contrast, background colour changer, font size increaser.

@jiraslama Thank you for adding all these issues! I'll add the original user testing feedback quotes from the summary, so that one does not have to search through the summary if they want to consult the original feedback!

Colors, contrasts and fonts
P i: Suggestion: Possibility to change the colour scheme
A D d: “I would appreciate pastel colors, because the screen is so bright. It is probably alright, it might be just the colouring. It might be good to have a colour bar to adapt the background.”
A D d: “As it is at the moment I would probably not use it, because I find the colours too intense.”
A D d: Theme does not need to be a dark theme, but “just not so bright. I think more about pastel colours. I find it hard to read on. I had a test once and they gave me a kind of ‘pinky’ background, which I found easier to read on.”
A C d: “[The contrast] is a little bit too heavy for me, but then I am short sighted, I am wearing my reading glasses. I don’t know if other people who got strong visual impairments would need that kind of contrast. I am just learning about this, that people with strong visual impairments do better with black background and yellow. So I don’t know if at any point of this ‘load up an experience’ you could have an alternative one, saying ‘do you have a visual impairment? Would you like to use this template?”
A C d: “Usually they [people with autism] request larger font sizes, because then there is less text on the site that they are reading and they can cope with it better.
A C d: positive towards alternative template and fonts as accessibility settings for people with visual impairments

Made issue #369 to create an accessibility checklist that can be used for the MVP and going forward. Closing this along with other accessibility checklist items for now.
