What to send us
Your full brand palette with exact color values, where the colors are used such as websites, apps or print, and your accessibility target, usually WCAG 2.2 level AA.
What you get back
A matrix of text and background pairings with measured contrast ratios, marked as passing for normal text at 4.5:1 or large text at 3:1, plus recommended pairs for common uses.
What to check before you sign off
Check the pairings on real screens and in real layouts, not just the chart. Also confirm that buttons, icons and form borders meet the 3:1 contrast needed for interface elements.
