WCAG contrast ratios help assess color readability. A complete accessibility review also considers keyboard access, semantics, focus states, motion, labels, and assistive technology behavior.

Understand The Result

How WCAG Color Contrast Checker works

Knowing what a result means is more useful than seeing a score or generated output by itself. Use this walkthrough before making an important change.

01
STEP 1

Enter text and background colors

Use the exact foreground and background colors from the interface you are testing.

02
CHECKRESULT
STEP 2

Read the contrast ratio

Compare the result against the relevant WCAG threshold for normal text, large text or interface components.

03
ReviewUse result
STEP 3

Check the rest of accessibility too

Passing contrast does not verify keyboard access, focus states, labels, semantics or assistive-technology behavior.

Important context

Use this as a fast accessibility check, not a complete audit. Important interfaces should still be reviewed against current WCAG guidance and tested with real interaction patterns.

WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT ENOUGH

Need someone to fix the issue, not just identify it?

Avenzo can take the result into implementation across web design, development, SEO, CRO, performance and AI-search optimization.
