Accessible Text Color Finder
Choose the most readable text color for a selected background.
Readable text on any background
Text that fails contrast is invisible to many readers, and guessing whether black or white sits better over a color wastes time. This tool takes your background color and picks the text color with the strongest WCAG contrast, so the copy stays legible for everyone.
It compares the candidates against the official relative-luminance formula rather than eyeballing it, which matters for mid-tone backgrounds where the human eye is a poor judge. The result is the safe choice plus the contrast ratio behind it.
Accurate and private
Everything runs locally in your browser using standard web APIs — nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored on any server — so the tool works offline, responds instantly, and keeps whatever you paste in on your own device. That makes it safe to use even for confidential, client, or internal data you would never send to an unknown website.
