Check color contrast
Pass foreground and background colors in any format (HEX, RGB, HSL, CSS name). Returns the exact contrast ratio, WCAG AA/AAA pass/fail for both normal and large text, and a human-readable verdict. AI cannot reliably calculate contrast ratios. this engine uses the official WCAG 2.1 relative luminance formula. Checks WCAG 2.1 color contrast ratio between foreground and background. Returns AA/AAA compliance for normal and large text

FAQ
Questions colord owners ask.
- 01
My AI says this color combination passes WCAG. Should I trust it?
No. LLMs cannot reliably calculate relative luminance. they approximate. This engine uses the exact W3C formula: L = 0.2126R + 0.7152G + 0.0722*B with sRGB gamma correction. Trust the math, not the prediction.
- 02
What's the difference between AA and AAA levels?
AA requires 4.5:1 contrast for normal text. the legal minimum in most countries. AAA requires 7:1. the gold standard for maximum readability. Large text (18pt+) has relaxed thresholds: 3:1 for AA, 4.5:1 for AAA.
- 03
Can I mix color formats? Like HEX for foreground and a CSS name for background?
Absolutely. Pass '#333333' as foreground and 'white' as background, or 'rgb(0,0,0)' with 'hsl(0,0%,95%)'. the engine normalizes everything internally.
