Hey Dev.to friends 👋
I just dropped a tool that every frontend dev and designer should have bookmarked:
🔗 Live Tool: Website URL
💻 GitHub Repo: Link
**
🎯 What It Does**
This tool helps you:
- ✅ Check contrast ratios between foreground and background colors
- 🎯 Instantly see if your color combo passes WCAG AA or AAA standards
- 🎨 Input colors in HEX, RGB, or HSL formats
- ⚡ Get real-time feedback with a clean, no-nonsense UI
Whether you're building a sleek dashboard or a blog with bold typography, this tool ensures your colors are readable for everyone.
💡 Why I Built It
Accessibility shouldn't be an afterthought. I wanted a fast, intuitive way to validate color contrast without digging through documentation or installing plugins.
So I built this lightweight, open-source checker, simple enough for quick checks, powerful enough for serious design audits.
🧠 Feedback Wanted!
Calling all:
- 🧑💻 Devs: Is the tool snappy enough? Any bugs or performance tips?
- 🎨 Designers: Would you like additional features like color suggestions or presets?
- 🧪 Accessibility experts: Is the WCAG logic solid? Anything I missed?
Drop your thoughts in the comments or open an issue: 👉 GitHub Issues
If you find it useful, a ⭐ on GitHub would be amazing. And if you break it… even better. I want to hear about it.
Let’s build a web that’s beautiful and inclusive.
