Enter colors (one per line) to check against the background color above:

Enter colors above, then audit to check them against the background color.

Confirming one text and background color pair passes WCAG is useful, but auditing an entire palette or a live page for every contrast failure and getting an actual suggested fix for each one is a different job entirely, closer to a compliance review than a single spot check. This tool audits color contrast ratios against WCAG 2.1 AA and AAA requirements and suggests an actual fix for each failure, proposing an adjusted color that would pass rather than only reporting which pairs don't.

Useful for auditing an entire palette or a page's color combinations at once instead of testing one pair at a time, getting a concrete suggested color adjustment instead of just a failing ratio number, or running a full accessibility compliance pass before a design system ships.

Quick answers for Color Contrast Auditor

Does it check one color pair or several at once?
Both, you can check a single foreground and background pair for its contrast ratio and WCAG rating, or switch to batch mode to audit a whole list of colors against one background at once.
What standard is the contrast ratio based on?
The WCAG 2.1 relative luminance and contrast ratio formulas, the same math used to determine AA and AAA accessibility compliance.
How is this different from the Color Contrast Matrix tool?
This tool audits multiple colors against a single fixed background. The Color Contrast Matrix instead checks every color in your list against every other color, showing all pairwise combinations in a grid.
