Nice write-up on the basics of color and accessibility. If you are like me and get lost in the seemingly unlimited choice of colors and palette options when designing GUIs, the sanest way to go about it is to 1) test for accessibility (WCAG, etc.) and 2) pick something that looks good (if you operate within the constraints of the first, you will find the range of the second narrow substantially).
PS.
As a Wise user I can say I was cautious coming to Wise for the first time post-redesign but I found it just as easy to work with, the GUI mostly gets out of the way like before. From designer’s standpoint I think getting rid of dark contrast blue areas helps visual hierarchy and overall the tones are not distracting but aesthetically pleasing.
