Best Practices for Accessible Color Palettes

  1. Maintain Sufficient Contrast: Aim for at least 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal text (WCAG AA)
  2. Use Color Consistently: Keep semantic meanings consistent (red for errors, green for success)
  3. Don't Rely on Color Alone: Ensure information is conveyed through more than just color
  4. Test with Users: Get feedback from people with different visual abilities
  5. Consider Color Blindness: Check your palette with color blindness simulators
