About the Accessible Color Fixer

It's common to find that a brand color or a specific design choice fails WCAG contrast checks. Instead of guessing and manually tweaking colors until they pass, the Accessible Color Fixer does the math for you. It intelligently adjusts the lightness of your colors while trying to maintain the original hue and saturation.

How to use the fixer

  • Enter your colors: Input the HEX codes for your text and background.
  • Select your target: Choose whether you need to meet WCAG AA (4.5:1) or AAA (7.0:1) standards.
  • Review suggestions: If the contrast fails, the tool provides two solutions: one that fixes the text color, and one that fixes the background color.
  • Apply and copy: Preview the fixed color and copy the new HEX code to your clipboard.
