Step by step
- 01
Test every text/bg combo
WebAIM Contrast Checker. Target 4.5:1 (AA).
- 02
Fix by adjusting lightness
Don't change hue — drop or raise L in OKLCH.
- 03
Watch grey-on-grey
Most common failure: secondary text on near-white backgrounds.
- 04
Don't rely on color alone
Error states need an icon + text, not just red.
