Checks common text and background color combinations that may be difficult for low-vision users to read.
Helps identify weak contrast in buttons, cards, banners, form labels, navigation, badges, and call-to-action sections.
Track contrast issues over time after theme updates, campaign launches, landing page changes, and brand refreshes.
What This Checker Looks For
Automated contrast checks are useful for issue weak color pairings across text, buttons, forms, banners, cards, and recurring UI components.
Flags foreground and background color pairs that need stronger contrast for body text or interface copy.
Checks common button states, link-style buttons, icon buttons, and call-to-action controls.
Reviews secondary copy, captions, helper text, metadata, disclaimers, and placeholder-style text that appears too light.
Finds text that becomes hard to read over gradients, images, overlays, and promotional backgrounds.
Checks ecommerce cards, pricing sections, sale badges, plan labels, and promotional UI elements.
Supports repeat checks after CSS updates, brand color changes, theme changes, and page-builder edits.
How To Fix
Use darker foreground text, lighter backgrounds, stronger overlays, or clearer color pairings.
Muted text can still be visually secondary without becoming too faint to read.
Button text, borders, hover states, disabled states, and surrounding background colors all matter.
Text over images often needs a stronger overlay, solid background, or different layout treatment.
Use Cases
Review hero text, service cards, contact forms, location pages, and conversion sections.
Check product cards, price labels, sale badges, buttons, banners, and collection pages.
Use recurring scans to catch contrast regressions after design updates and client content changes.
Review campaign pages, landing pages, announcement bars, and promotional sections before launch.
Saved scans help teams compare recurring contrast issues after design, theme, and campaign updates.
