Inclusive by design

Design for every reader.

Good contrast makes content easier to perceive in bright light, on different displays, and with low vision. It is a small check with a lasting benefit.

Clarity is a feature

Headings, body copy, buttons, and cards all share the colors you are testing.

The sample button is interactive. Try it with your own colors.

Curated pairs

Start with a tested combination, then make it your own.

Know the thresholds

Ratios range from 1:1 to 21:1. Large text means at least 24px, or 18.66px when bold.

4.5:1 / Normal AA

The minimum for body copy and other standard-size text.

7:1 / Normal AAA

A stronger target for extended reading and small text.

3:1 / Large AA

The minimum for large text and meaningful interface graphics.
