Accessible Use of Color
Following Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), there must be sufficient contrast between foreground colors (text and graphics) and background colors to accommodate low-vision and colorblind users on the Clemson website. All Clemson websites should meet WCAG AA color contrast standards of a minimum 3:1 color contrast ratio for text that is at least 24px and normal weight or 19px and bold and 4.5:1 color contrast ratio for text 19px normal weight and lower.
Contrast Grid
Test Clemson-specific foreground and background color combos for compliance with WCAG 2.1 minimum contrast.
For general information on colors see the Color concepts page on the Clemson Digital Accessibility site.
