Check WCAG 2.1 color contrast ratios for accessibility compliance.
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) defines standards for making web content accessible. For contrast, WCAG 2.1 requires a minimum ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text (AA) and 7:1 for enhanced accessibility (AAA).
Large text is defined as 18pt (24px) regular weight or 14pt (18.66px) bold. Large text only needs a 3:1 contrast ratio for AA compliance.
