-: Let me tell you about
the contrast checker within PowerPoint.
PowerPoint can also check the contrast of your items
and it will give you a warning here in the accessibility tab
if you open the accessibility tools.
You can see hard to read text contrast on this oval.
However, this text is also hard to read,
but PowerPoint doesn't know,
doesn't count the background color in.
So only if I would take this shape,
this is a normal text box, but it is also a shape.
If I would go to Shape Format,
I would take Shape Fill and I would give it a gray color.
Now, PowerPoint would know, "Hey, this gray background
on this object makes this text very visible,
please correct that."
And this is okay, this contrast tracker,
that way, PowerPoint told me.
But the problem is, if you have PowerPoint,
I'm inserting a shape, I'm putting a shape here.
I'll even right-click, send it to back.
This text is now perfectly visible.
But even if this text would be not very visible,
PowerPoint still doesn't know
because PowerPoint doesn't know,
"Hey, is this shape behind the text or not?"
This is a separate shape, so this is a little problem
with the native PowerPoint contrast checker.
It only works if you have a shape and text
right within the shape.
So this is one object.
This text, PowerPoint will take into consideration
because it is written directly on this shape
while having it selected.
So PowerPoint knows what is hard to read.
You should know yourself as the designer
that you should avoid situations like that
where the text is very visible.
Let me now show you normal contrast trackers
we use over the internet.
