Last year at @PyConUK, we had two colours of lanyard: blue if you were happy to appear in photographs, bright yellow if not.
The yellow stands out in a crowd, to make it easier to spot if you’ve accidentally snapped somebody who doesn’t want to be in photos on social media.

Now I’m trying to tell other people about this policy, and explain how the bright yellow stands out. Only hitch: I don’t have any photographs of people wearing yellow lanyards to illustrate the point.

Clever choice since that's colour-blind safe too!

You can just make a mockup surely? I think it's because blue (denim, black, etc) is a common colour for clothes while yellow is rarer.

Also how did you enforce this? I mean did you just hope people were good or did you have a way of addressing (accidental or otherwise) violations?

Daniele reminded people of it in the opening remarks each day, and in general people were good about self-policing. I followed the conference hashtag, and I tapped one person on the shoulder for posting a photo with a yellow lanyard. Quickly taken down and re-cropped.
