Here’s an #AltText question that I vacillate on: what about colors? Obviously some blind people were previously sighted and so including colors in alt text is helpful to them. What about people who were never sighted? What makes for good description for those people when we’re trying to convey the variation and definition that color brings? Should we just use regular color terms because people know how to navigate those terms, or is there some different emphasis that would be helpful?
@D_J_Nathanson Don't overthink it. Just describe the elements that are key to understanding what's being conveyed by the image. If the color is unusual or important, mention it. Otherwise, that's probably unnecessary fluff.
More importantly, I can't imagine that I can describe the essence of "red" in a way that would make a never-sighted person understand it better than they did before, so I'm not gonna try.
