About Our Color Contrast Checker

Welcome to the ultimate tool for web designers, developers, and creators. Our simple, no-fuss Color Contrast Checker allows you to instantly visualize how your foreground and background color choices work together.

Why is color contrast important? It’s the key to web accessibility (a11y), ensuring that your content is readable for everyone, including people with visual impairments. Good contrast improves usability and user experience for all visitors.

How to Use This Tool:

  1. Set Your Background: Use the “Background Type” dropdown to select “Solid Color” or “Gradient”.
  2. Customize Background: Use the color pickers or type in any valid CSS color. For gradients, add multiple colors and select a direction.

  4. Set Your Foreground: Pick a color for your text or shape using the “Foreground Color” controls.
  5. Customize Content: If you chose text, adjust the font size and content. If you chose a shape, select from basic primitives.
