Accessible Color Checker

Verify colors meet accessibility standards

The Accessible Color Checker is an essential tool for UI designers, ensuring that your color choices align with established accessibility standards.

It checks for sufficient contrast ratios, helping designers create visually appealing and usable interfaces for everyone, including those with visual impairments. Not only does this tool provide an easy-to-use interface for checking color combinations, but it also offers valuable insights and recommendations. If your selected colors do not meet the required accessibility standards, the Accessible Color Checker suggests alternative combinations that are compliant. This empowers designers to make informed decisions while crafting user experiences that are inclusive and respectful of all users' needs. By using this tool, you can improve the usability of your designs and contribute to a more accessible digital landscape.
