Color Contrast Tool

Created by Amy Holmes, Modified on Tue, 15 Aug, 2023 at 4:59 PM by Amy Holmes

Color contrast is the relationship between two colors. In terms of accessibility, it is a small change that can make a big impact. We want the color contrast behind the background and foreground to have a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 in order to meet the Level AA, WCAG 2.1. WCAG is Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. 


There is a free Colour Contrast Analyzer tool that you can download and use to check your color contrast. Review the video to learn how to use the tool.
