Hi Jim,

If your text falls within the category of being:
. Incidental: Text or images of text that are part of an inactive
user interface component,

Then the answer is no, you don't need to make the color conform to SC 1.4.3.


HTH,

Bim

Subject: [WebAIM] Visual Question About Disabled Text and Contrast

Hi,
Someone is telling me that some text on the web is "grayed out." The gray
color is outside the allowable contrast range. Should I recommend a darker
gray for this to pass?

Thanks.

Jim
