FAQ - Color Contrast Checker
What is the WCAG minimum contrast ratio requirement?
WCAG 2.1 Level AA requires a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Level AAA requires 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text.
How does the Color Contrast Checker calculate contrast ratios?
The tool uses W3C relative luminance formulas with sRGB gamma correction (L = 0.2126*R + 0.7152*G + 0.0722*B). The contrast ratio is calculated as (L1 + 0.05) / (L2 + 0.05).
Is my color data processed privately?
Yes, 100%. All calculations, color blindness simulations, and live rendering occur locally inside your browser memory sandbox without any network uploads.
How does the local Color Contrast Checker work?
The tool operates strictly inside your local browser memory sandbox using client-side JavaScript APIs. Your file and data are compiled and processed locally on your machine, so no data payload is ever sent across the network to our host servers.
Is using the online Color Contrast Checker safe for private files?
Yes, absolutely. Because the entire execution happens client-side within your browser session, your confidential files and data never leave your device, guaranteeing total protection from remote interception.
Are there file size limits or paywalls on this Color Contrast Checker?
No. Unlike cloud-based platforms that limit free accounts or require paid subscriptions, all processing runs locally on your system hardware, meaning the utility is completely free, unrestricted, and unlimited.
