Designing for Everyone
Accessible color choices ensure users with low vision or color vision deficiency can still interact and understand your interface.
Contrast Ratios
- Meet WCAG AA (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text)
- Use tooling to measure ratios across states and themes
- Avoid light-gray-on-white for core interactions
Beyond Color Alone
Pair color with iconography, patterns, or labels so meaning does not disappear when color perception differs.
Testing Workflow
- Run manual checks with system-level color filters
- Automate contrast audits in CI where possible
- Include people with disabilities in usability studies
