♿ Color Contrast Checker (WCAG)

WCAG Accessibility Checker

WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) ensures your colors are readable by everyone, including people with visual impairments. Our built-in color contrast checker instantly validates your palette against WCAG standards.

  • WCAG AA (Normal Text): Contrast ratio of 4.5:1 — minimum for body text
  • WCAG AA (Large Text): Contrast ratio of 3:1 — for headlines (18pt+ or 14pt bold+)
  • WCAG AAA (Enhanced): Contrast ratio of 7:1 — best accessibility
🎨 Generate Tailwind Color Config

Tailwind CSS Color Generator

Export your extracted palette directly as a Tailwind color config. Perfect for developers who want to maintain consistent brand colors across their projects. Copy the configuration and paste it into your tailwind.config.js under theme.extend.colors.
