Sink Area Without Contrast
The low contrast bathroom sink graphic shows a sink with a soap dish and soap holder, cup, toothbrush holder with toothbrushes, medicine cabinet with medicine bottles, light switch, hand towel, and hairbrush. All the items are a light color against light-colored walls and a light-colored countertop. The labels on the medicine bottles are printed in light text against a light background, all providing examples of insufficient visual contrast.
