How the Color Contrast Checker Works

This color contrast checker tool helps you ensure that your website's color combinations are accessible and meet the necessary contrast ratios. By using this tool, you can improve the readability of your content and ensure compliance with web accessibility standards.

Background Color

The background color is the color behind your text or other elements on your website. Choosing an appropriate background color is crucial for ensuring that the text or elements placed over it are easily readable. You can select a background color using the color picker or input the hex code directly.

Text Color

The text color is the color of the text on your website. It's essential to choose a text color that contrasts well with the background color to ensure readability. You can select a text color using the color picker or input the hex code directly.

Contrast Ratio

The contrast ratio is a numerical value that represents the difference in luminance between two colors. It ranges from 1:1 (no contrast) to 21:1 (maximum contrast). To meet accessibility standards, text should have a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. This tool calculates the contrast ratio between the background and text colors and provides feedback on whether it meets accessibility guidelines.

Improving Accessibility

Ensuring that your website is accessible to all users, including those with visual impairments, is crucial. Using this color contrast checker tool, you can identify and correct color combinations that do not meet accessibility standards. This not only improves the user experience but also helps you comply with legal requirements and guidelines such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
