A Letter to the Manufacturers of the Caps of Liquid Detergents
Please learn what contrast is and how to use it.
I’m supposed to fill the cap to level 1, 2, or 3. But I can’t read the numbers that are embossed on the cap. There is no contrast, so the numbers and the lines blend in with the rest of the cap. Is that the fill line, or is that the shadow from the screw thread?
It shouldn’t be that hard to read. Please don’t make laundry chores any more difficult than they need to be.
Sincerely,
An Annoyed Consumer
Note: detergent companies, it is a very important letter, so please read all the lines.
Hint: if you are not a manufacturer of detergent caps and you want to know what I wrote, highlight the text with your mouse (or finger if you’re using a smartphone/tablet – you may need to copy/paste it into an email in order to read it). Those manufacturers don’t need this hint because they obviously have no problem reading things with no contrast between the background and foreground colors.
For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from me, nor is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.

I won’t tell you how long I spent trying to read between the lines.

I hope that was before you read the hint.
