The veg and non-veg symbol accessibility

Have you ever looked at a food package to determine whether the contents are veg or non-veg?

 

Many of us, especially in India, do this on a daily basis and decide on our consumption based on the red or green dots on the package.

 

However, people with color blindness face issues as veg and non-veg food icons differ only by color, which they cannot recognize. And, as per the Colour Blind Awareness organization, globally, 4.5% of the population suffers from it. However, designing for them has certainly taken a back seat while designing the icons.

 

Keeping this in mind, last year, FSSAI Publication transformed the symbol of non-vegetarian food from a brown circle to a brown triangle to help color blind people separate it from the green process denoting veg food.

 

A key component of digital product design is accessibility. And, we, designers and developers, have the power to create an inclusive web through #accessibilityforall
