The Best Free Color Contrast Checker
Web accessibility is not optional — it is a legal requirement in many countries and a moral imperative for inclusive design. One of the most common accessibility issues is poor color contrast between text and background, making content difficult to read for people with low vision or color blindness. The GadgetsFocus free online Color Contrast Checker tests your color combinations against WCAG 2.1 guidelines.
WCAG Standards
- AA Normal Text: Minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 (standard compliance for body text).
- AA Large Text: Minimum 3:1 ratio (for text 18pt+ or 14pt+ bold).
- AAA Normal Text: 7:1 ratio (enhanced accessibility, the gold standard).
- AAA Large Text: 4.5:1 ratio for large text under enhanced compliance.
