Contraste
Check text color accessibility against WCAG guidelines instantly
Contraste is a free macOS app that checks whether text and background color combinations meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defined by the W3C. It helps designers and developers quickly determine if their color choices are accessible to users with visual impairments. The app requires macOS High Sierra (10.13) or newer.
Users input a text color and background color, and the app evaluates the contrast ratio against WCAG thresholds to determine if it passes accessibility requirements.
