Contrast Checker
Our Contrast Checker ensures your color combinations meet accessibility standards by verifying that text and background colors have sufficient contrast for readability. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) specify minimum contrast ratios to ensure content is readable by people with visual impairments, including color blindness and low vision. This tool automatically calculates contrast ratios and tells you whether your color combinations pass WCAG standards at different conformance levels.
Simply input your foreground and background colors, and the tool instantly calculates the contrast ratio, shows whether it passes AA and AAA standards for normal and large text, and provides recommendations if your colors fail accessibility requirements. It's essential for designers creating inclusive interfaces, developers implementing accessible websites, and anyone committed to ensuring their content is readable by all users. The tool helps you make informed color choices that balance aesthetics with accessibility.
Accessibility checking features:
- Check color contrast for accessibility compliance

Palette Generator
The Palette Generator creates harmonious color palettes automatically based on color theory principles, saving you from the challenge of manually selecting complementary colors. Creating effective color schemes requires understanding color relationships—which colors work well together, which create visual harmony, and which achieve the mood you're targeting. Our generator does this complex analysis for you, producing professional palettes instantly.
Start with any base color, and the tool generates complete palettes using various color harmony rules: complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, split-complementary, and more. Each palette is designed according to established color theory, ensuring the colors work together harmoniously. You can adjust saturation and brightness, lock specific colors while regenerating others, and export palettes in various formats.
