Color Contrast Checker

Ensure your color combinations meet WCAG contrast requirements for readability.

Usage

Provide your foreground and background colors to check contrast compliance.

Examples

  • "Check if #666 text on #fff background meets WCAG AA"
  • "Find an accessible alternative to light gray on white"
  • "Audit our entire color palette for contrast compliance"

Guidelines

  • Target 4.5:1 ratio for normal text (WCAG AA)
  • Target 3:1 ratio for large text and UI components
  • Test both light and dark mode color schemes
  • Consider users with color vision deficiencies
  • Never rely on color alone to convey information
