Color Contrast

Reports the WCAG 2.0 contrast ratio between two colours with an AA/AAA/Fail grade — luminance computed from hex, or overridden for APCA/pre-computed values.

Preview

Text / Surface 17.85:1 AAA On primary 4.47:1 Fail Muted 2.45:1 Fail
17.85:1 2.28:1 1.20:1

Controls

Viewport

Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.

Installation

terminal
php artisan ui:add color-contrast

Guidance

Design-token documentation

Inspect and govern design-system decisions.

Use when

  • Use to document, inspect, and apply design-system decisions consistently across teams and AI tooling. Do not present token-level controls to end users who only need product functionality.

Avoid when

  • Avoid using color-contrast as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.

Preferred alternatives

Accessibility & localization

WCAG 2.2 AA RTL-ready data-slot Keyboard focus-visible Localized labels
  • Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
  • Uses semantic HTML and a stable data-slot attribute for styling/scripting hooks.
  • Focus-visible rings use the ring token so keyboard focus is always visible.
  • Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
  • Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
  • Labels go through __() and the component uses logical properties (ms-*, text-start, start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.

Source

The exact, editable file ui:add writes into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews render this same code; there are no preview-only components.
