Introducing the Color Contrast Checker

We’ve launched our first free tool! Test the contrast ratio of your background and text elements for accessibility. You can use it to explore different compliant color combination palettes for your website design.



My favorite tool for Color Contrast can be found at:
https://developer.paciellogroup.com/resources/contrastanalyser/ 

This tool lets you sample foreground and background colors, shows you the color contrast ratio for normal vision for both level AA and AAA compliance.  It also calculates the equivalent color contrast ratios for the three major types of color blindness and shows samples of text using the selected foreground and background colors.  It is the preferred tool of many large companies.

There is value to both tools.  Try both and don’t be surprised if you use both in the future.
