Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between AA and AAA?
WCAG AA requires 4.5:1 contrast for normal text and 3:1 for large text. AAA is stricter at 7:1 and 4.5:1.
Does this work for color-blind users?
WCAG contrast is the baseline for low-vision accessibility. For color-blindness, also rely on shape, position and text — not color alone.
