Font Size and Colour
So, the new website was launched two days ago and some viewers with ageing eyes complained about the text font - just not enough contrast. I find that I use the Chrome and Edge browsers with a default 125% zoom as I'm no spring chicken!

which has a very interesting article "Why You Should Never Use Pure Black for Text or Backgrounds". This article covers:

- High Contrast for Accessibility
- Balanced Contrast for Readability
It's well worth reading.
