One of the primary phenomena that emerges out of bold and highly saturated color schemes is a seemingly “vibrating” color, an occurrence wherein the edges of two directly adjacent colors appear to merge, blur and glow, giving the illusion of motion.
In addition to the often annoying vibrating and blurry colors for those who see in full color, given colors of equal luminance, those with color blindness may end up not seeing anything at all. While there are varying levels of color blindness, it’s best to play it safe when it comes to accessibility.

Here's a link to the program that r ransom mentions above. https://www.grammarly.com/
Has anyone who's ESL (English as a Second Language) tried using it?
I have a son who's a card-carrying dyslexic - he is incredibly bright and creative despite areas which are a struggle. I totally support doing what we can to keep all people contributing to permies in ways that grow and support the community as a whole. That may mean we have to work a little harder on an individual basis - typing out words or acronyms as I did above, for example - but if it helps spread permaculture to every country and every back-yard, I believe that's the best gift we can give the planet!

Some people are colourblind. We have quite a few colour blind people who participate in these forums. There are all sorts of different kinds of colourblindness, and it's something I hope to learn more about in the future. But from what I understand, having words at a different colour value (black-whiteness) is the key to make life easier for them.

So why not remove the option for picking the colours which are hard to see on this forum? The yellow in your original post r ranson is really hard to see.
Would this take away the need to ask people to not do this?
just my opinion.

Here at Permies, we the staff are working with forum software that we don't write or maintain. We have access to the people who do, but AFAIK we can't just select an option, check a box, and have the color options vanish from the posting window. We would have to initiate a process of, essentially, persuading the people who make the software to remove a function/feature from "their" software.
If you have ever dealt with programmer types, they have a culture that isn't intensely focused on design, user-interface, ease-of-use, and visual user comfort. It is not uncommon to find individual programmers who are oblivious to or even contemptuous of such concerns. "What, your users have a problem with the software? You need to get better users!" But even when you've got a good team with a user focus, programmers use "features" as a metric of success. It's built into their thinking. They are no more inclined to "take out a feature" than a gardener is inclined to rip out a healthy plant. There might be a good reason, but if it's not their idea, the conversation that results in their being persuaded to do it is going to be a hard slog, a long and difficult climb.
