Color Contrast Issues

Q: I'm getting a "Background and foreground colors do not have a sufficient contrast ratio" error. How do I fix this?

A: This accessibility warning appears when your text and background colors don't have enough contrast for users to read comfortably. This is especially important for users with visual impairments.

Quick Fix Using AI: Copy and paste this prompt into any AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.):

My primary color is [YOUR_COLOR_HERE] and secondary color is [YOUR_COLOR_HERE]. 
Google says "Background and foreground colors do not have a sufficient contrast ratio." 
What could I change these colors to that are not too far off from my current colors 
but meet accessibility standards?

Replace [YOUR_COLOR_HERE] with your actual hex color codes (like #11597c).

Manual Fix:

  • Make one color significantly lighter or darker than the other
  • Aim for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text
  • Use online contrast checkers like WebAIM or Colour Contrast Analyser to test your combinations

Why This Matters: Good color contrast ensures your website is accessible to all users, including those with visual impairments, and helps with SEO rankings.
