Can your customers actually read your colors?

Find out in seconds. Check your text and background colors against WCAG AA and AAA, see your brand the way people with color blindness do, and pull a palette from any photo. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Can everyone read that?

A color contrast checker from your friendly neighborhood design nerds.

Your palette

Add up to 5 colors and every text/background pairing gets tested below. Tap a cell to load that pair above. Colors sent from the Palette puller land here automatically.
