In each row, the "base color" is the simplest representation of the hue. The other colors are derived from the base color by varying its lightness in HSL to achieve the necessary WCAG contrast ratio, which is defined as a ratio of slightly modified CIE relative luminance values.
An LCD technology is dynamic contrast (DC), also called advanced contrast ratio (ACR), and smart contrast ratio (SCR [4]) and various other designations.When there is a need to display a dark image, a display that supports dynamic contrast underpowers the backlight lamp (or decreases the aperture of the projector's lens using an iris), but proportionately amplifies the transmission through the ...
The first web accessibility guideline was compiled by Gregg Vanderheiden and released in January 1995, just after the 1994 Second International Conference on the World-Wide Web (WWW II) in Chicago (where Tim Berners-Lee first mentioned disability access in a keynote speech after seeing a pre-conference workshop on accessibility led by Mike Paciello).
Snook's Colour Contrast Check provides a comprehensive check of whether a particular choice of foreground and background colours meets WCAG 2.2 standards for brightness difference, colour difference and contrast ratio.
You can use a few online tools to check color contrasts, including: the WebAIM online contrast checker, or the WhoCanUse site, or Snook's Color Contrast Check. Several other tools exist on the web, but check if they are up-to-date before using them. Several tools are based on WCAG 1.0's algorithm, while the reference is now WCAG 2.0's algorithm.
For text against a white background, the following CSS colors do not meet the minimum contrast ratio (4.5:1) specified by Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA. Contrast [ d ] Color sample
For accessibility, WCAG 2.0 AA guidelines require a contrast ratio of 3 or larger for large text, and 4.5 or larger for normal sized text. In the default mode, color2 and color3 are white and black, and the selected color pair will always have a contrast ratio greater than 4.58.
The "luminance contrast" is the ratio between the higher luminance, L H, and the lower luminance, L L, that define the feature to be detected.This ratio, often called contrast ratio, CR, (actually being a luminance ratio), is often used for high luminances and for specification of the contrast of electronic visual display devices.
