What is color contrast?

Color contrast refers to the difference in light between two colors that appear next to each other in content. It plays a crucial role in visual design by enhancing readability and ensuring that everyone, including those with visual impairments, can perceive content clearly. Good contrast is essential not only for aesthetics but also for creating accessible and inclusive designs.

Why Is Color Contrast Important?

High contrast between text and its background can help users read more comfortably and efficiently, particularly in varied lighting conditions or on different devices. For users with visual impairments such as color blindness or reduced vision, adequate contrast is vital for distinguishing text and interactive elements on a screen. Adhering to established contrast ratios helps meet accessibility standards, ensuring that information is accessible to a broader audience.
