DARTS : Accessibility Standards in Power BI

Whenever building a report, no matter who your audience is, you should create your reports to be usable by as many people as possible. This page may help you to create reports that follow accessibility standards.

Read these pages from Microsoft: 

• Overview of accessibility in Power BI

Checking Color Contrast:

1. Go to WebAIM 
   
   
2. Enter colors. In this example, the font color is FFFFFF (white) and the background color is 83A99C (light green). The ration is 2.58:1, which is lower than standard of 4.5. Therefore, the test failed.
   
   
   
3. When I changed the font color to 070707 (blank), the test passed. It has a good contrast now.
