Re: Measuring colours accurately in mobile apps

Hi Steve,

I just grabbed the first app could find that I was ok downloading. The colors for the login screen were (possibly) not correct because they were colors over an image-based background which is inaccurate with most (probably all) tools except manually picking or getting the hex values from the designer. I didn't actually test the colors so my comment was a guess.

The Accessibility Inspector is not perfect so it can miss contrast issues, but it can help. Don't chastise, this may help others on the list.

Thankx,
