FAQ

What WCAG level should I target?

AA is the standard requirement for most websites and legal compliance. AAA is ideal but challenging to achieve with brand colors. At minimum, ensure all text passes AA.

Does this check WCAG 3 (APCA)?

WCAG 3 uses APCA (Advanced Perceptual Contrast Algorithm) which is still in draft. This tool checks against WCAG 2.1 contrast ratios, which remain the current standard.
