For years, I have used syntax highlighting for code examples in my presentation material.

Not once did I get the feedback that the syntax-highlighted code was hard to read. But now I read once or twice that using syntax highlighting for code examples in presentations is considered a bad practice.

Question to the #accessibility experts of the #Fediverse: Should I avoid syntax highlighting for code examples in my presentations? If not, do you have recommendations for color palettes?

Thanks!
