#46698: Twenty Nineteen: use better color names for the editor palette
-------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: afercia | Owner: (none)
Type: defect (bug) | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Awaiting Review
Component: Bundled Theme | Version:
Severity: normal | Keywords: has-screenshots
Focuses: ui, accessibility |
-------------------------------+-----------------------------
Color names were introduced in Gutenberg in
https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/5273 to address accessibility
concerns and provide better information to users about the colors. See
https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/2699
Previously, colors were identified by their hexadecimal value. That wasn't
helpful. By providing a human-friendly name (as many desktop applications
do) all users can immediately understand what the color is.
However, Twenty Nineteen uses a couple names that don't help so much:
"Primary" and "Secondary" are terms for designers, and don't help users to
understand what the color is:

Also, screen reader users won't have a clue "Primary" is a blue and
"Secondary" is a dark blue.
Bundled themes should showcase best practices and these color names should
be changed to human-friendly names able to inform users about what the
actual color is.
