This is how normal body text (16px) looks with your color combination. Can you read this comfortably?

WCAG Contrast Guidelines

What is WCAG?

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including visual impairments.

Why does contrast matter?

Low contrast text is difficult to read for users with low vision, color blindness, or in bright lighting conditions. Meeting WCAG standards ensures readability for all users.

AA vs AAA

AA is the minimum recommended standard. AAA is the enhanced standard for maximum accessibility. Most sites target AA compliance.

Large text definition

Large text is 18pt (24px) and above, or 14pt (18.66px) bold and above. Large text has lower contrast requirements because it's inherently more readable.
