Color guidance

Overview

This guidance page covers how to apply color accessibly across Unreal Engine tools, graphs, debug visualizations, and interface surfaces. It includes a testable checklist for designers and QA, WCAG contrast requirements with Unreal-specific contexts, guidance on avoiding color-only communication, color behavior on complex 3D backgrounds, and color use in data visualizations — each section written to explain the reasoning behind the requirement, not just state it.
