2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Color Accessibility
Table of Contents
Overview
Accessible color design ensures all users, including those with color vision deficiency, can access and understand information.
When to Use
- Creating color palettes
- Designing data visualizations
- Testing interface designs
- Status indicators and alerts
- Form validation states
- Charts and graphs
Quick Start
Minimal working example:
WCAG Contrast Ratios:
WCAG AA (Minimum):
- Normal text: 4.5:1
- Large text (18pt+): 3:1
- UI components & graphical elements: 3:1
- Focus indicators: 3:1
WCAG AAA (Enhanced):
- Normal text: 7:1
- Large text: 4.5:1
- Better for accessibility
---
Testing Contrast:
Tools:
- WebAIM Contrast Checker
- Color Contrast Analyzer
- Figma plugins
- Browser DevTools
Formula (WCAG): Contrast = (L1 + 0.05) / (L2 + 0.05)
Where L = relative luminance
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices
✅ DO
- Ensure 4.5:1 contrast minimum (WCAG AA)
- Test with color blindness simulator
- Use patterns or icons with color
- Label states with text, not color alone
- Test with real users with color blindness
- Document color usage in design system
- Choose accessible color palettes
- Use sequential colors for ordered data
- Validate all color combinations
- Include focus indicators
❌ DON'T
- Use color alone to convey information
- Create low-contrast text
- Assume users see colors correctly
- Use red-green combinations
- Forget about focus states
- Mix too many colors (>5-8)
- Use pure red and pure green together
- Skip contrast testing
- Assume AA is sufficient (AAA better)
- Ignore color blindness in testing
