Here's the thing: jet black or very dark brown hair color might seem like the perfect solution for covering grays, but colorists warn it's actually the one shade women over 50 should think twice about requesting. Colorists explain it perfectly: "Solid dark hair against light skin- all that contrast is not summery, they explain, adding that overlightened hair is not the answer either, as it easily looks washed-out."

A woman stands before a massive black wolf, their bodies aligned so precisely that the creature reads less as a separate entity and more as an extension of her silhouette. No tension exists between them. No drama of possession or escape. Mari positions the wolf head directly above the woman's own, along the same vertical axis, creating a visual grammar of doubling rather than confrontation. The relationship feels ceremonial, almost devotional, with the wolf serving as guardian rather than threat.

When he took this image, Beijing-based Li was visiting Norway and Iceland with friends, on a trip focused on sightseeing and photographing the aurora borealis. He captured this picture while exploring Sakrisy, a small island in Lofoten, Norway. In the foreground sits this distinctive yellow homestay; in the background, Olstinden mountain. It had snowed heavily all day, Li recalls. As I was setting up to capture this scene, the snow stopped and the sun came out, which made the perfect environment for taking photos.

Per The WebAIM Million report, low contrast text represents 79.1% of all errors on the 1M homepages they analyzed via automated testing. People with low vision often struggle with text that blends into its background, especially if they also have a color vision deficiency. And as people like you and me age, this becomes especially important. Ensuring a minimum contrast ratio between text and background makes it easier to read, even for those who see limited or no color.
