Color Contrast Guidelines

Color contrast guidelines ensure that text and visual elements are easily distinguishable from their backgrounds, enhancing readability and accessibility. They specify the minimum difference in color brightness and hue between foreground (like text) and background to accommodate users with visual impairments, including color vision deficiencies. For example, dark text on a light background provides high contrast, making it easier to read. These guidelines help create designs that are inclusive, ensuring everyone can perceive and understand the content easily regardless of their visual abilities.
