APCA + WCAG 2 Contrast Checker

Compare APCA and WCAG 2.x contrast, see previews, and explore suggestions for foreground, background, and focus colors.

Mike Gifford, CPWA @FOSDEMDec 2
I created a tool to find the differences between how WCAG 2.x evaluates color and how APCA does it. It should be easier to find when one model actually works better than the other. mgifford.github.io/apca-wcag2/ #accessibility #a11y #APCA #WCAG #Color #ColorContrast

How to have the browser pick a contrasting color in CSS

Have you ever wished you could write simple CSS to declare a color, and then have the browser figure out whether black or white should be paired with that color?

My husband and I made a color contrast checker with WCAG and APCA support.

It has Live Preview with APCA-specific details, assisting messages, helpful explanations, and permalink support.

We'll be happy to know what you think :)

A11y 101: 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)

Designers commonly complain that they canโ€™t design with the restrictions that WCAG has in place for contrast. At the same time the great designers love restrictions. Remember, they donโ€™โ€ฆ

Woooow @marcedwards, thanks for sharing!

I always felt that some WCAG 2 color #a11y results were weird, but I never dove deeper. This shines a completely different perspective, super insightful!

The problem now is that benchmarking and testing services do still use #WCAG2 as their reference, so, absurdly enough, if we switched to #APCA we would get worse acccessibility scoresโ€ฆ ๐Ÿคจ

#APCA is designed to more accurately measure perceived contrast by assessing contrast in terms of lightness contrast, taking into account aspects such as polarity and contextual information like font size and weight.

APCA's more human-centred assessment of contrast gives companies like Stack Overflow more confidence that they are designing interfaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and readable by as many people as possible.

Is orange the forbidden colour in accessibility? ๐Ÿ”ถ๐Ÿ™…

Stack Overflow made an exception during its accessibility-focused redesign and chose to measure #colour #contrast using the Accessible Perceptual Contrast Algorithm (#APCA). Although they initially considered the #WCAG colour contrast algorithm, they decided against it because it struggles to accurately assess colour contrast when using orange, which is a significant issue when orange is a brands primary colour.
