About Color Contrast & Visual

About Color Contrast & Visual illustration

Effective visual design is crucial for accessibility. For users with low vision or color blindness, poor color contrast can render text unreadable, and using color alone to convey information can create significant barriers. Our Color Contrast & Visual testing service ensures your design is clear, legible, and accessible to all. We meticulously test the color contrast ratios of text, icons, and interface components against WCAG standards to guarantee readability. Beyond contrast, we verify that color is not the sole method used to indicate actions or errors, that focus indicators are highly visible, and that the overall visual presentation supports a logical information hierarchy. This creates a more inclusive experience and often results in a cleaner design that benefits every user.

Our Framework

1
Step 1

Design System Review

We begin by reviewing your design system, style guides, and brand color palette. This proactive step helps us identify potential contrast issues early in the process, even before code is written, saving time and future rework.

2
Step 2

Automated Contrast Scanning

We use automated tools to perform a comprehensive scan of your entire website. This quickly identifies all instances of text and background color combinations that fail to meet the minimum WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratio requirements.

Step 3

Manual Visual Inspection

Our experts manually inspect your site to find issues that automated tools miss. We check non-text contrast for UI components, ensure focus indicators are clearly visible, and verify that information is not conveyed by color alone.

Step 4

Color Blindness Simulation

We use specialized tools to simulate various types of color vision deficiencies (like deuteranopia and protanopia). This helps ensure that your content remains understandable and your calls-to-action are still clear for all users.

Step 5

Detailed Remediation Report

We provide a detailed report that documents all visual accessibility issues. For each contrast failure, we provide the exact color codes and suggest accessible alternative color combinations that align with your brand's aesthetic.
