Contrast checker (WCAG)

Sample text in large

This is what normal body text looks like.

3.68 : 1AA normal: failAA large: passAAA normal: failAAA large: fail

The color tool for designers and developers: pick a color via the picker or HEX input and instantly get the values in HEX, RGB and HSL – each with a copy button. The palette generator creates harmonious 5-color palettes by color theory: complementary, analogous or triadic.

The built-in contrast checker tests text and background color against the WCAG accessibility guidelines and shows whether the combination meets levels AA and AAA for normal and large text – including a live preview.

Frequently asked questions

What contrast is needed for accessibility?

Per WCAG, normal text needs at least 4.5:1 (AA) or 7:1 (AAA). For large text (from about 24 px), 3:1 (AA) or 4.5:1 (AAA) is enough.

What do complementary, analogous and triadic mean?

These are harmony rules from color theory: complementary colors sit opposite each other on the color wheel, analogous colors sit next to each other, triadic colors form an equilateral triangle on the wheel.
