The Basics of Color Contrast
Color contrast refers to the difference in luminance or saturation that makes an object distinguishable from other objects within the same visual field.
In design, this concept is crucial because it directly affects readability, user experience, and accessibility.
High contrast between text and background colors ensures that information is easily readable, while low contrast can make it difficult for users to perceive important elements on a page.
Effective contrasting colors are essential for individuals with visual impairments, such as color blindness or low vision, as they enhance visibility and comprehension. Understanding and implementing proper contrast is a fundamental aspect of accessible design that contributes significantly to a website or application’s overall usability.
