Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about font contrast, accessibility, and micro text readability.
Micro text refers to small text sizes (typically below 14px) used for captions, labels, footnotes, or disclaimers. It requires higher contrast ratios because smaller text is harder to read, especially for users with visual impairments. WCAG guidelines specify stricter contrast requirements for smaller text to ensure readability.
For normal text (18px+ or 14px+ bold), WCAG AA requires a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1, while AAA requires 7:1. For micro text (below these sizes), the requirements are the same but more critical to meet. Our font contrast checker calculates both standards based on your specific font size.
Color blindness affects approximately 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women. Certain color combinations that appear contrasting to people with normal vision may appear similar or indistinguishable to those with color vision deficiencies. Our tool calculates luminance contrast, which remains visible regardless of color perception differences.
WCAG guidelines make exceptions for logos, brand names, and purely decorative text. However, if text conveys information or is necessary for understanding content, it should meet contrast requirements. When in doubt, it's better to ensure good contrast for all text elements to maximize accessibility.
You should check font contrast whenever you redesign your site, change color schemes, or add new content sections. Regular accessibility audits, at least quarterly, are recommended to ensure ongoing compliance. Bookmark our font contrast checker for quick accessibility testing whenever you make design changes.
