Summary
This Success Criterion ensures online content has enough color contrast for easy reading. It focuses on users who are color-blind, or have low vision. It emphasizes that text color must stand out prominently from the background for better readability.
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
When you’re scrolling through the night, trying to read what’s on the site
One point four point three is the key to set it right
Four point five to one’s the magic ratio, don’t you know
For regular text to show against the background glow
If your vision’s getting hazy or the years have made it tough
This contrast rule ensures your text is clear enough
Not just black and white, it’s luminance we measure
Making words stand out like digital treasure
CHORUS:
Can you see me now? (Can you see me now?)
Got that contrast flow (Got that contrast flow)
Four point five to one for the regular show
Three to one when the text gets bold and grows
Making content shine with that accessible soul
One point four point three, now everybody knows
VERSE 2:
Large text gets to party with a lower ratio dance
Eighteen point or fourteen bold, they get a special chance
Three to one is all they need to make their presence known
Logos and decorations get to groove all on their own
No requirements for the text that’s just for show
Inactive buttons dimmed out, they can take it slow
From young to old, color blind or not
This guideline makes sure everyone’s got a shot
CHORUS:
Can you see me now? (Can you see me now?)
Got that contrast flow (Got that contrast flow)
Four point five to one for the regular show
Three to one when the text gets bold and grows
Making content shine with that accessible soul
One point four point three, now everybody knows
BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
It ain’t about the color, it’s the light and dark between
Relative luminance making everything seen
Tools can check your ratios, make your testing clean
Remember one point four point three
That’s the contrast harmony
Making web content funky and barrier-free
