Understanding 1.4.11 - recent additional image incorrectΒ #2061

Description

@patrickhlauke

Recently #2028 this new example has been added to the 1.4.11 understanding https://w3c.github.io/wcag/understanding/non-text-contrast.html

Note that this Success Criterion does not directly compare the focused and unfocused states of a control - if the focus state relies on a change of color (e.g., changing only the background color of a button), this Success Criterion does not define any requirement for the difference in contrast between the two states.

Three blue buttons, the center button is a lighter blue than the others.

Figure 15 The change of background within the component is not in scope of non-text contrast. However, this would not pass Use of color.

However, the image doesn't match up with the prose - as it's not just the background that changes here, but the colour of the text as well (and a dramatic change here from white to black, the most contrasty change possible).

Suggest changing the image so that the three buttons are the same except for a change of just the background
