Test color combinations for WCAG accessibility compliance
Color and typography contrast play a key role in readability and accessibility. The right combination of text color, background color, font size, and font weight helps users scan content faster and reduces eye strain.
Poor contrast between colors and typography can make even well-designed interfaces difficult to use. This is especially important for dashboards, UI tools, and content-heavy pages where users spend a long time reading or comparing information.
Use this tool to test color contrast, evaluate text visibility, and find balanced color and typography combinations that meet accessibility standards and work well across different screen sizes.

Understanding color theory helps you create better designs
A color picker is a tool that allows you to select and manipulate colors for digital design. It converts between different color models like HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK, making it easy to use colors across various platforms and design tools.
Color harmony refers to the pleasing arrangement of colors. Different schemes like complementary, analogous, and triadic create visual balance. Harmonious colors work well together and create aesthetically pleasing designs.
Accessibility in design ensures that content is usable by people with disabilities. WCAG guidelines define contrast ratios for text and background colors. AA level requires 4.5:1 ratio, while AAA requires 7:1 for better accessibility.
HEX: Hexadecimal notation (#FF0000) commonly used in web development.
RGB: Red, Green, Blue values (0-255) for digital displays.
HSL: Hue, Saturation, Lightness - more intuitive for designers.
