Contrast Checker (WCAG)

Q: What is the difference between AA and AAA?

Level AA is the minimum standard for most websites, requiring a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text. Level AAA is the enhanced standard, requiring 7:1 for normal text, offering better readability for a wider range of users.

Q: What is considered "Large Text"?

According to WCAG, large text is defined as 18pt (approx 24px) or 14pt (approx 18.66px) bold. Large text requires a lower contrast ratio (3:1 for AA) because it is easier to read.

Ensure your designs are accessible. Check color contrast ratios and WCAG compliance (AA, AAA) for accessibility.
