Understanding contrast ratios
Contrast ratio is a measure of the difference in brightness between two colors. WCAG guidelines specify minimum ratios for different text sizes and purposes.
Why accessibility matters
Good accessibility practices ensure that your website is usable by people with visual impairments, color blindness, and other disabilities. It's also good for SEO and overall user experience.
Testing for accessibility
Use automated tools to check contrast ratios, but also perform manual testing. Consider different viewing conditions and user needs.
Beyond contrast
While color contrast is crucial, accessibility involves more than just colors. Consider font sizes, spacing, and alternative text for images.
