WARNING|WCAG2AA.Principle1.Guideline1_4.1_4_3.G18.BgImage|
In addition to the issues of contrast or color blindness, placing areas of brightly colored hues together can be hard for users with color vision to read. Bright colors cause an afterimage effect which when two colors are together can cause them to interfere with one another causing "visual vibration". While the red version of the logo is dark it is still unadvisable to place it on a bright background. Our recommendation is to use the white version of the logo on any colored background.
