How it's calculated

  • • Computes relative luminance for the foreground and background colors.
  • • Contrast ratio is calculated as (lighter + 0.05) divided by (darker + 0.05).
  • • Shows common WCAG thresholds: 4.5:1 for normal AA text, 3:1 for large text and non-text UI, and 7:1 for normal AAA text.
