What RTÉ News offers by itself

With the Mac set to dark appearance, the page stayed light.

What Cameleon does on RTÉ News

  • RTÉ News stays light when your Mac is dark, so the skin you set for dark appearance recolours it.
  • When your Mac is light, RTÉ News keeps its own colours unless you set a skin for light appearance, or choose one for RTÉ News.
  • A light skin, Sunset or Yardage Book, always goes ahead on RTÉ News, dark or not.
  • Choose a skin on RTÉ News and it is remembered for RTÉ News; other sites keep theirs.
  • Colour only: the layout, the text and the links stay as RTÉ News made them.

Measured 3 November 2026 on the page shown, a public one read without signing in, with Cameleon's own engine. Its cookie-consent dialog was taken off first, as it is once a reader answers it. A further 22 pieces of text sit on a background image rather than a colour, which is painted over the colour beneath it, so they are counted as not measurable rather than scored. WCAG AA is 4.5:1 for text and 3:1 for large text. How it was measured, and what it cannot fix.

RTÉ News belongs to its owner, who has nothing to do with Cameleon. The captures show its public page, to show the colours.
