For normal text, aim for at least 4.5:1 for AA compliance or 7:1 for AAA. Large text (18pt or 14pt bold) needs 3:1 for AA or 4.5:1 for AAA compliance.
AA is the standard level of accessibility compliance required by most regulations. AAA is the highest level, providing enhanced accessibility for users with more severe visual impairments.
Contrast ratio is calculated using the relative luminance of colors as defined by WCAG guidelines. It ranges from 1:1 (no contrast) to 21:1 (maximum contrast).
Large text is defined as 18 point (24px) or larger, or 14 point (18.66px) or larger if bold. Large text has more lenient contrast requirements.
Good color contrast ensures content is readable for everyone, including users with visual impairments, color blindness, or those viewing content in bright sunlight or on poor displays.
