FAQ
What is WCAG?
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are international standards for making web content accessible to people with disabilities, including color vision deficiencies.
What contrast ratio do I need?
WCAG AA requires 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (18px+ bold or 24px+). AAA requires 7:1 for normal and 4.5:1 for large.
Why does color contrast matter?
Low-contrast text is hard to read for people with low vision, color blindness, or in bright sunlight. It also affects your legal compliance in many jurisdictions.
