Precision Accessibility Standards

Legibility is the foundation of user trust. A high-contrast interface ensures that your message reaches every user, regardless of their visual ability or environmental lighting. By meeting WCAG standards, you create a professional environment that prioritizes inclusion and clarity over guesswork.

Meeting ADA and EAA requirements is vital for modern digital products. Our tool automates this validation, allowing you to focus on creativity while we handle the mathematical precision of luminance ratios. Inclusive design is not just a requirement; it is a mark of superior design quality.

WCAG Accessibility Standards

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, known as WCAG, define how to make web content easier to read and use for people with disabilities, especially users with visual challenges.

WCAG AA | Minimum Compliance

  • Normal text requires a 4.5:1 contrast ratio
  • Large text requires a 3:1 contrast ratio
  • This level is expected for most public websites

WCAG AAA | Enhanced Compliance

  • Normal text requires a 7:1 contrast ratio
  • Large text requires a 4.5:1 contrast ratio
  • This is the highest level of accessibility support

These standards help ensure color choices remain readable, inclusive, and usable across all screens and users.

Accessibility & Professional Compliance

Luminance Analysis

Our tool calculated relative luminance in real-time, providing exact contrast ratios for any foreground and background pairing.

UI Component Audit

Beyond just text, verify the visibility of icons, input borders, and active states against the latest non-text contrast standards.

Pro Tip: When a primary color fails, generate a deeper variant for text while keeping the brand hue for large decorative elements.
