About Contrast
Contrast is a macOS application for checking color contrast against the WCAG accessibility guidelines. You give it a foreground and background color and it shows the contrast ratio between them, grades it against WCAG levels such as AA and AAA, and indicates whether the pairing passes for different font sizes and weights.
It is aimed at designers and developers who want to verify that text and interface colors are legible while they work, rather than after the fact. Alongside the Mac app, the same contrast checker is offered as a Figma plugin, and the makers publish a short written guide to color contrast.
No price is listed on the site, so it is best to confirm current cost and licensing on the download page before relying on it.
