🎨 Color Contrast Checker
Select a text color and background color to test their contrast!
What is this Tool About?
The Color Contrast Checker is a simple yet powerful tool designed to help designers, developers, and content creators ensure their text is legible and accessible to all users. This tool analyzes the contrast ratio between two colors—typically text and background—and determines whether the combination meets web accessibility standards, especially WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
Accessibility isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a necessity. Good contrast ensures that everyone, including those with visual impairments or color blindness, can comfortably read your content. Whether you’re building a website, designing a logo, or choosing app colors, using a Color Contrast Checker ensures your design is both beautiful and readable.
How to Use This Tool?
- Select your text color using the color picker on the left.
- Select your background color using the second color picker.
- Click the “Check Contrast” button (it pulses—like it’s eager to help!).
- The tool will instantly show you the contrast ratio and tell you if it meets WCAG standards (AA or AAA).
It’s fast, user-friendly, and doesn’t require any downloads or sign-ups. Perfect for quick checks on the go!
Benefits of Using This Tool

- Enhance your site’s SEO score by meeting accessibility guidelines (yes, search engines notice!).
- Avoid redesign headaches later by checking color combos early in the design phase.
And let’s be honest—doing a little color math in your head? *Not fun*. This tool handles all the numbers for you. Just click and boom—your answer appears!
