Contrast is the brightness combination between text, images of text, and its background; it plays a major role in WCAG accessible design. According to it, strong color contrast helps users with low vision, color blindness, and color vision deficiencies to read content clearly without strain. The WCAG 2.1 AA standards require a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
Our Accessible Color Palette Generator helps to find color combinations that meet these contrast guidelines and build visually inclusive digital content.
