Good to know.

A color contrast checker measures the ratio between text and its background and tells you whether it passes WCAG AA and AAA for accessibility. This free tool shows the exact ratio with a live preview for normal and large text.

The number accessibility is graded on

WCAG measures readability as a contrast ratio between text and background, from 1:1 to 21:1. Enter two colors and see the exact ratio and whether it passes AA and AAA for normal and large text.

Where it actually matters

Low contrast is the most common accessibility failure — and the one enterprise buyers and audits check first. This tells you instantly whether your colors are readable, before it is a problem.

How to check color contrast

  1. Enter your text color. Set the foreground color.

  2. Enter your background color. Set the color behind the text.

  3. Read the ratio. See the exact contrast ratio.

  4. Check AA and AAA. Confirm it passes for normal and large text.
