We’re about to make a big update to the user interface (UI) in your Salesforce environments. How big, you might ask? Well, it’s going to affect all Lightning UI and should dramatically improve the experience for your users with low vision. Last year, we ran a study involving a number of Salesforce users who have low vision, and we found that many of them struggled to recognize important UI elements in Salesforce—such as buttons, icons, and links—because they weren’t dark enough to stand out in their lightly colored backgrounds.
As Trust is our #1 value at Salesforce, we’ll be updating our Lightning UI to be more accessible to these individuals in 2023. In particular, we’ll be increasing the contrast of many colors in our experience, thus improving the recognition of visual information, such as text, icons, warning messages, buttons, and more. This update will also allow our products to comply
