Why Color Contrast Matters
Poor color contrast is the most common accessibility failure on the web. By ensuring a proper contrast ratio using our free tool, you not only comply with legal standards like the ADA but also significantly improve the user experience for everyone.
Understanding WCAG Levels
The WCAG 2.1 guidelines define three levels of conformance regarding contrast:
- Level AA (Minimum): Requires a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text.
- Level AAA (Enhanced): Requires a higher contrast ratio of 7:1 for normal text.
- 100% Free & Secure: Check as many colors as you want, privately in your browser.
