Has anyone written up best practices for #accessibility with #GoogleSheet's charts & graphs? I'm struggling to deal with the best of bad choices. Text isn't legible or it is hard to differentiate between dark bars.
I wish they had patterns, but someone must have written some guidance on this. #a11y

in reply to Mike Gifford, CPWA • • •Honestly, my first assumption is that Google only rarely pays much attention to accessibility, and generally recommend using other tools.

The slide deck for their presentation is available here (I think the video is restricted to conference attendees): accessinghigherground.org/micr…
