When and why did the Confluence status macro colors change?

[Charlie Misonne]

I recently noticed the colors of the status macro changed in Confluence.

The green and yellow colors are just too similar for a color blind person like me. Personally I will only notice the difference when both statuses are right next to each other. And even then I'm unable to say which color they are.

The contract ratio is too low. I even checked with whocanuse.com. The test fails for any type of color vision deficiency.

As a long time Atlassian user I know Atlassian puts some effort in the accessibility of their products. I hope this can be improved in the near future.

If anyone has a link to release notes or an item in JAC where there is a trace of this change that would be great.

Hi @Charlie Misonne , indeed, this has changed recently and is rolling out as I understand it. I would use the in-app Feedback link to give Atlassian PMs this feedback.

Thanks for replying Jack.

That's actually a good idea. I just sent them feedback via the in product feedback form.

There's nothing in Atlassian Cloud changes blog or I missed it in an older one.

@Charlie Misonne I totally agree with you and there is no way to change the font colour either. 

It would be great, if Atlassian would make both status background and text colours changeable using a colour wheel. Now the limitation minimal.
