Gray Dolphin Accessibility

When it comes to accessibility it is important to consider the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 issued by W3C. The WCAG provides a set of standards to determine if two colors have an appropriate contrast ratio in order to be readable on a web. This is achieved by measuring luminance, also known as brightness, between the color of your text and the background color. The WCAG has several levels of conformance: (A - Lowest, AA - Mid Range, AAA - Highest). If you meet the requirements of a higher range of conformance then you automatically meet the lower levels. For Example, if you meet AAA then by default you also meet AA and A. The contrast ratios that need to be met also consider the size of the font. Below are the contrast ratios needed to be compliant.

  • Level AA (large text/18-point font): 3:1
  • Level AA: 4.5:1
  • Level AAA (large text/18-point font): 4.5:1
  • Level AAA: 7:1

In the following sections we take a look at conformance levels AA and AAA for both large sized text and normal sized text.
