Incorrectly flagged for insufficient color contrast ratio
beachdbishop opened this issue · comments
Scanning a site in my dev env with pa11y-ci 3.1.0 on Windows 10.
Error: This element has insufficient contrast at this conformance level. Expected a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1, but text in this element has a contrast ratio of 4.12:1
Isn't 4.12:1 higher/better than 4.5:1?
Double-checked the contrast w/ Polypane just to make sure:
How can I resolve this?
Isn't 4.12 less than 4.5? :-)
Hey @beachdbishop! Unfortunately, as @kussmaul says, 4.12 is lower than 4.5 😅
You can plug your hex codes into the WebAIM contrast checker and play with the tools there to see how changes are reflected in the ratio.
Isn't 4.12 less than 4.5? :-)
OMG. Thank you, fellow human. Apparently, the coffee hasn't hit.
