Why is Contrast Important

In terms of accessibility, web content should be easy to read and digest. It may enhance your website to throw a bunch of colors to make it look cool. However, is it accessible for an audience that has vision disabilities?

Contrast Example:

Make sure you use colors that contrast one another.

Bad Contrast: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Good Contrast: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

To ensure compliance with web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG), you can use WebAim's Color Contrast requirements for different sizes of text.
