Good colour contrast between text and background is vital for all content, including websites, print, and social media. Checking your contrast makes your content inclusive and accessible to people with low vision, colour blindness, or those reading in bright sunlight.

Here are some helpful tools.
Comparison of colour contrasts through six text and background combinations, each labelled as either "Good" or "Bad." It features two red squares with black text labelled "Good" and green text labelled "Bad," two blue squares with white text marked "Good" and orange text labelled "Bad," and two pink squares with black text labelled "Good" and yellow text labelled "Bad."
