Overview

To check the color contrast between foreground and background of the texts

It checks the color contrast between the foreground and background of the elements that are in the page according to the WCAG 2.2. It evaluates the contrast on all elements of the page considering their computed style for the color and background-color CSS properties. In case of these colors are defined with RGBA values, it also considers the opacity to deduce the real color that finally is show. It can simulate color blindness and evaluate the contrast for the simulations. By this way, developers can see how the pages look for colorblind users. The tool also includes two fields in which the colors can be introduced manually to be tested. It also allows to pick the color directly from the documents. Finally, it auto-refreshes when DOM of the page changes (addition or removing elements), but if the page has many changes, this behavior can be de-activated.

Great extension for easily finding colour contrast accessibility issues - especially with the auto-update feature. Unfortunately the extension overlays on the page and doesn't appear to update the viewport, so there are parts of the page that are hidden from view that are being analysed that I can't see - it would be good if the extension either updated the viewport so that all items on the page are always visible (similar to how DevTools works) or if when you clicked on an item, it would sh...
