Best Practices For Color Contrast:

To enhance accessibility, consider the following best practices: 

1. Use High Contrast: Select color combinations with high contrast, such as dark text on a light background or light text on a dark background. For instance:  

• Dark text on a white or light-colored background (e.g., black or blue on white). 
• White or yellow text on a dark background (e.g., white or yellow on black). 

2. Avoid Red/Green Combinations: To accommodate individuals with color vision deficiencies, especially those with red-green color blindness, it is advisable to avoid using red and green together for critical content. 

3. Leverage Contrast Tools: Utilize color contrast tools such as the WebAIM Contrast Checker or the Color Contrast Analyzer to ensure that your text adheres to the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. 

4. Backgrounds and Text: Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background. Refrain from using background images with busy patterns or visuals that may compromise text legibility. Instead, opt for solid or lightly textured backgrounds. 

5. Choose Bold and Clear Fonts: Select clear, modern fonts (e.g., Arial, Calibri) with appropriate weight (e.g., bold) to enhance readability.
