Frequently Asked Questions
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) specify that text must have sufficient contrast against its background to ensure readability for visually impaired users. Normal text requires a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 (AA level).
Yes. This tool automatically calculates standard CMYK percentage values (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) based on RGB color channels, making it easy to transition from screen to print design.
RGB represents additive light (Red, Green, Blue) from 0 to 255. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) aligns better with human perception of color, allowing designers to create tints, shades, and darker hover states simply by adjusting the lightness percentage.
Search engines like Google factor accessibility and user engagement signals into their algorithms. Poor text contrast frustrates visitors, leading to high bounce rates and lower search visibility.
