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

Guidance
Design-token documentationInspect 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.
- Task length
- medium
- Interaction cost

- Interruptiveness

Preferred alternatives
- Product-level controls for end users
Anti-patterns
- Exposing implementation tokens as product settings

Capabilities
Behavior
- Uses server-rendered Blade and semantic HTML.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.

Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken 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.
