EqualWeb’s Color Contrast Checker

Creating an inclusive web starts with accessibility for all users, regardless of their abilities. Poor color contrast is one of the biggest barriers for millions of people with visual impairments or color blindness. Our Color Contrast Checker helps eliminate this issue by providing a reliable tool to ensure your website meets accessibility standards without compromising on design.

By aligning with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), this tool empowers businesses and developers to build inclusive digital experiences with ease.

Custom color options for site backgrounds, headings, contents. Options: Bright High-Contrast, Dark High-Contrast, Monochrome.

What the Color Contrast Checker Offers

EqualWeb’s Color Contrast Checker is a user-friendly, advanced tool designed to evaluate and optimize the contrast ratio between text and background elements. It compares these ratios against WCAG 2.1 standards to ensure compliance at AA or AAA levels.

Here’s how it works:

  • Scans your website to find areas with poor color contrast.
  • Highlights problem areas and provides actionable recommendations.
  • Helps designers and developers make improvements without sacrificing visual appeal.

For reference, WCAG standards require:

  • AA Compliance: A minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for regular text and 3:1 for larger text.
  • AAA Compliance: Stricter ratios of 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for larger text.

Why Color Contrast Matters

Good color contrast isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s essential for usability and compliance. Poor contrast makes it difficult or impossible for people with low vision, color blindness, or age-related visual decline to read text.

But the benefits of proper contrast go even further:

  • Enhance readability for all users.
  • Increase accessibility to reach a wider audience.
  • Improve user experience across all demographics.
  • Avoid legal risks under regulations like the ADA or European Accessibility Act.
  • Boost SEO, as accessible websites rank higher in search engines.
