How this service works
Compute the WCAG 2.1 contrast ratio between a foreground and background color and report AA/AAA pass/fail for normal and large text.
Output
Returns the numeric WCAG 2.1 contrast ratio (e.g. 4.5:1) between the foreground and background color, along with boolean pass/fail indicators for AA and AAA compliance levels at both normal text (4.5:1 and 7:1 thresholds) and large text (3:1 and 4.5:1 thresholds).
Example use cases
Design system accessibility audit
“I'm building a design system and need to know if our brand colors pass WCAG — check if #333333 text on a #F5F5F5 background meets AA and AAA for normal and large text.”
Accessible button label validation
“Does the button label color #FFFFFF on our primary brand background #0057B8 pass WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility for normal-sized text?”
Dark mode color compliance check
“We're launching a dark mode — can you verify that our foreground color #E0E0E0 on background #121212 passes WCAG AAA contrast requirements for large text?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.24klabs.ai/api/wcag-contrast?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a programmatic, standards-accurate WCAG 2.1 contrast ratio computation with explicit AA/AAA pass/fail verdicts for both normal and large text. Prefer it over manual calculations or generic color tools when building automated accessibility audits, CI/CD design checks, or agent workflows that need structured pass/fail output.
Side effects
- Invalid color format provided (non-hex, malformed RGB) returns a 400 error
- Missing foreground or background parameter returns validation error
- Identical foreground and background colors returns a contrast ratio of 1:1 with all fail results
- Unsupported color space or alpha channel values may not be handled correctly
