Introduction

This is a list of all the brands that live in the main repo. I'll try to keep this updated as new PRs are approved, and eventually add in the brands from LittleLink-Extended.

It's important to note that even though LittleLink strives to make accessibility a priority, that doesn't mean each brand that has been added to LittleLink is the hallmark of accessibility. In the event a brand has a public and published brand guidelines document, new additions follow it, even if it means impacting accessibility. In the absence of specific brand guidelines, the button's style is crafted to be consistent with the brand's public image on their website or social media platforms—adaptations retain the original essence of the brand.

Accessibility Through Color

Using the WebAIM Contrast Checker, I've started to validate the contrast ratios of the text color (foreground color) and button color (background color). This gives an incentive to review updated brand guidelines to ensure we're using brand colors in a way that are recommended and where necessary, make decisions to deviate from those guidelines in the name of increased visual accessibility.

From WebAIM on what determines a pass/fail for WCAG AA and AAA.

WCAG 2.0 level AA requires a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. WCAG 2.1 requires a contrast ratio of at least 3:1 for graphics and user interface components (such as form input borders). WCAG Level AAA requires a contrast ratio of at least 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text.

Large text is defined as 14 point (typically 18.66px) and bold or larger, or 18 point (typically 24px) or larger.
