About the tool

Calculate the APCA contrast level of two colors.

APCA, or Advanced Perceptual Contrast Algorithm, is a new approach to color contrast that aims to improve readability for everyone, including those with visual impairments. Unlike older methods, APCA takes into account human visual perception, making it a more accurate measure of how colors appear to different people.

This tool is built using the base APCA reference algorithm 0.0.98G-4g developed by Myndex Research and Andrew Somers.
