Zoom Classes: Deaf Tips: During: Whiteboard Screen-Sharing

Be aware of color-blind issues. Use black type for the safest option. It may be difficult for color-blind people to see red, green, blue, and yellow. Use strong contrast to the background, so black type on a white background is useful. Be aware that color-blind and low vision users have individual variations and different preferences re: color of text and background.
