Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a 'contrast ratio'?
It's a measure of the difference in perceived luminance (brightness) between two colors, ranging from 1:1 (no contrast) to 21:1 (maximum contrast).
What do WCAG AA and AAA mean?
They are conformance levels. AA is the widely accepted standard for most websites, requiring a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1. AAA is a stricter standard (7:1) for enhanced accessibility.
