Color Contrast Checker 🐾

Check the WCAG contrast ratio between two colors and see which accessibility levels pass — instant and private.

Good contrast makes text readable — and QR codes scannable. Pick two colors and see the ratio and which WCAG levels they meet. It's pure math, computed in your browser.

AA needs 4.5:1 for normal text (3:1 large); AAA needs 7:1 (4.5:1 large). For QR codes, aim well above 3:1 between the modules and the background.
