Description

Color Contrast is a tool to measure the contrast between two colors in a screenshot or mobile website, helping ensure your app meets the internationally recognized recommendations in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Color Contrast has the following features:
+ Verify that the color contrast between two colors is sufficient to pass WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines / Section 508.
+ View suggested colors
+ Generate a report that can be shared using SMS, Email or Notes.

About WCAG 2.1

WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines have three levels of compliance, A, AA and AAA. When considering large text (i.e. text which is above 18pt or larger), the minimum AA color contrast ratio is 3:1 and for AAA the ratio is 4.5:1. For normal text, the AA color contrast ratio is 4.5:1 and for AAA the color contrast ratio is 7:1.

For more information about WCAG 2.1, see https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/

Important details not well thought

When I load an app screenshot, the lower portion of the screenshot is blocked by the app’s bottom toolbar. This blocks from measuring all my screenshot’s accessibility.

Also, the feedback email is broken, which doesn’t reflect an app that’s being paid attention and curated enough to request monthly payments for what could be simply bought once.

Pity because otherwise seems like a clever and simple app.

Nice utility

Just wish the design and experience were much better. It doesn’t feel like a native iOS app at all. But it does the job.

Needs better transparency on cost of app

The details don’t appear to clearly explain there is a monthly $.99 fee to use the app. You are basically forced to a screen to sign up for 7-Day free trial. Fine if that is the model - but make it clear in the app details up front so users know that before downloading. Feels like a bait and switch operation otherwise.

Thank you for the feedback - the upgrade screen has now been redesigned to make this clearer.
