Accessibility

Color contrast represents the luminance difference between foreground and background colors. The WCAG 2.1 standard for accessibility sets three levels of achievement, from the minimum Level A to the stringent Level AAA. Level AA requires a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for regular text and 3:1 for large text. Level AAA is even more stringent.

Our design system intends to achieve at least WCAG Level A.
