@Alan Levine Judging by the advice I've read so far, it's always best to describe the colour using basic colours plus attributes such as brightness, saturation and what other basic colour or colours the colour you describe is leaning towards.

For example, "light, yellowish orange", "a darker, slightly less saturated, slightly more brownish tone of orange", "various shades of slightly yellowish, medium-light-to-medium brown", "a solid, slightly pale medium blue with a minimal hint of green", "a medium-dark wood texture, slightly reddish, slightly greyish". All actually used by me in the long descriptions in (content warning: eye contact) this image post.

If the name of the colour plays a role, use it and then describe the colour in the same way as above. Blind or visually-impaired people may not know what Prussian blue or Burgundy red looks like.

@Stefan Bohacek @❄️Faerie❄️ @cobalt @Tanya McGee Wheatley 💜🥰 What do you say, is that appropriate, complete overkill or still insufficient?

I find myself having to search through my old and bookmarked posts when the topic of alt text on social media comes up, so I'm just going to put some of the relevant polls I've posted over the past few months here on my blog.

@Martin Holland I'd post a screenshot from Hubzilla. But for one, writing an adequate image description for it is too much of a hassle for me right now. And besides, it would include an eye contact trigger, and Hubzilla has no way of making Mastodon blank sensitive images out.

@Stefan Bohacek Well, I already do, and I guess you know by now.

At least I don't think my image descriptions are "basic". They may be "plain" and not "inspiring", but if "basic" with no drivel in-between already amounts to anything between 25,000 and over 60,000 characters, should I really decorate my image descriptions and inflate them further?

Trying to understand human psychology a bit here, boosts for reach are very much appreciated.

When you post an image without alt text, and someone replies with the image description for you to use, what is your typical reaction?
