Customizable Collaborator Highlight Colors in Notes
This is an accessibility-focused feature request for the Notes app.
In shared Notes, each collaborator is assigned an automatic highlight color, but these colors cannot be customized. This creates accessibility challenges for users with:
– ADHD and sensory-processing issues
– Autism
– Dyslexia
– Color blindness
– Low vision or contrast sensitivity
Customizable collaborator colors (and optional color-coded text) would:
– Improve readability
– Reduce visual confusion
– Support neurodivergent users
– Enhance contrast and text tracking
– Make multi-person Notes far more accessible
Requested accessibility improvements:
Let each collaborator select their own highlight color
Allow the note owner to assign colors manually
Optional: color-coded text for each contributor
Consider an “Accessibility Contrast Mode” for clearer visibility
This change would be simple to implement and would significantly improve accessibility for many users who rely on Notes for school, work, and shared household organization.
