About this color contrast checker

The color contrast checker measures the WCAG contrast ratio between a foreground (text) color and a background color, then tells you at a glance whether the pair meets AA (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text) and AAA (7:1 and 4.5:1). Ratios use the official WCAG relative-luminance formula, and a live preview renders real sample text on your chosen background so you can judge readability, not just numbers. Everything runs locally in your browser, so nothing you type is ever uploaded.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

What contrast ratio do I need to pass WCAG?

WCAG AA requires 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (18pt, or 14pt bold). AAA is stricter: 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text. This tool shows all four results at once.

How is the contrast ratio calculated?

It uses the official WCAG relative-luminance formula for each color, then divides the lighter luminance plus 0.05 by the darker luminance plus 0.05, giving a value from 1:1 to 21:1.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. All color parsing and contrast math run entirely in your browser. No colors, values, or results are sent to any server.
