Frequently asked questions

What contrast ratio do I need?

WCAG AA requires at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (18pt, or 14pt bold). AAA requires 7:1 and 4.5:1.

Why is CMYK only approximate?

Real CMYK values depend on the printer's ink and color profile. The formula used here is the standard device-independent conversion.
