Hey I am pleased to share the technologies and code libraries used in building our applications.

What is a CSS Contrast Color Finder?

You have a color and want to know which text color — black or white — reads best on top of it? Paste any color code (hex / RGB / HSL), a CSS property with a value, or a whole selector block. For each color we compute the best contrasting text color and its WCAG contrast ratio. For example

background-color : #2196f3;

or a selector with multiple color definitions like. Simply copy paste, and you will see the recommended text color plus whether it passes WCAG AA / AAA.

      .button {
        background-color: #2196f3;
        color: white;
      }

You can use any color format as follows

      rgb(64, 64, 64),
      rgba(64, 64, 64, 1)
      hsl(0, 0%, 25%)

📚 Full Help Guide

You can enter colors using any of these formats. Each color is shown with the best contrasting text color (black or white) and its WCAG contrast ratio:

1️⃣ Standard CSS Selector Block

.button {
  background-color: #2196f3;
  color: white;
}

2️⃣ Color Variables / CSS Properties

--primary-color: #ff0000;
border-color: green;

3️⃣ Plain Color Values

#FF5733,
#33FF57,
blue

4️⃣ Mix Any Format

.card { --bg: #eee; }

--accent: purple;
#0099ff

About the ratios: WCAG AA needs a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text (3:1 for large text); AAA needs 7:1. We pick whichever of black/white text scores higher against your color.
