Accessibility tips

WCAG 2.1 requires 4.5:1 contrast between text and background (AA), or 7:1 for enhanced (AAA) accessibility.

💡

Get the RGB values for both your text and background colours here, then paste them into a contrast checker like WebAIM's Contrast Checker.

🎨

Use the lightness scale to find a shade of your brand colour that passes contrast requirements while staying on-brand.

🔍

Teal and mid-range colours often fail contrast checks against white. Try L=30–40% in HSL for dark enough versions that pass 4.5:1.
