How to interpret results
Contrast uses the entered colors and standard relative luminance calculations. Text size, weight, states and the complete interface still need accessibility review. Passing one color pair does not establish overall compliance.
Frequently asked questions
Does passing color contrast satisfy all accessibility requirements?
Not fully. Keyboard navigation, semantic tags, focus indicators, and alt text are also required.
What counts as large text?
WCAG large text generally refers to approximately 18pt or 14pt bold and above, depending on font rendering.
Is transparent color supported?
Opaque HEX values are currently required. Please calculate the actual blended color first.
