Calculation method and processing rules

The contrast is calculated according to the sRGB relative brightness, and the threshold value is not rounded.

scope of use

Only check the opaque solid color; the large text means at least 18pt, or at least 14pt bold, does not mean that the entire page is barrier-free compliance.

Displays close to 4.5:1 even through AA?

Not necessarily, the threshold comparison uses the original result that is not rounded. Ordinary text AA needs at least 4.5:1, large text needs at least 3:1; the large text here is at least 18pt, or at least 14pt bold. This result does not replace the complete barrier-free inspection.

Will the input content be saved on the server?

This tool handles input in the browser, and does not upload files or form content. Typing practice scores are only saved in the native browser.

Why may the result be different from other tools?

Only check the opaque solid color; the large text means at least 18pt, or at least 14pt bold, does not mean that the entire page is barrier-free compliance. Please compare the input unit, rounding method, applicable rules and data version first.
