What This Tool Does

Accessibility Auditor™ evaluates colour combinations used on websites and provides practical guidance about readability and contrast.

It can help identify situations where:

  • Text is difficult to read against its background
  • Buttons lack sufficient contrast for comfortable use
  • Navigation elements may be difficult to see
  • Colour choices may create accessibility concerns for some visitors
Educational Guidance Only This tool provides educational guidance to help you make better design decisions. It is not legal advice, does not certify compliance, and does not replace a full accessibility audit. Accessibility involves many factors beyond colour contrast.
