1.4.1 Use of Color (A) Links in body copy are indicated by color only

Priority: Serious Low Page: IoT-Verteilerseite Observation Permalink

Observation Details

Links are only differentiated from normal body text by use of color.

  1. The contrast ratio of link text color and body text color is sufficient (3.4:1) and as such is no failure. Links can be found as "XPLORA X6 Play eSIM", "Anio 6" in body copy text

  2. The contrast ratio of link text color and FAQ body text color is not sufficient (2.6:1 < 3:1) as it uses a different body text color (rgb(56, 56, 56)). Links can be found as "eSIM", "WLAN-Router und -Repeater" in FAQ section "Das sollten Sie zum Thema IoT wissen"

Remediation Notes

Ensure, all links do not rely on color alone to be differentiated from (surrounding) body text. Ideally, differences do not rely on color contrast, even when meeting 3:1 color contrast ratio.

Preferably use underline to indicate text links as it is the default –thus user friendly– method.
