Why it matters
WCAG AA asks for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Below that, people with low vision, older screens or bright rooms can't read it.
How Patch checks
We run the axe-core "color-contrast" rule on your homepage and two other pages.
How to fix it
- Darken the text or lighten the background until each pair reaches 4.5:1.
- Check your design tokens, so it's fixed everywhere at once.
Your own report goes further: it names the exact pages, services and settings Patch found on your site, and with a full report you get a fix prompt to paste into Lovable, Bolt or Cursor.
Where this applies
WCAG 2.2 AA is the reference standard. The European Accessibility Act makes it a legal requirement for many online shops and services selling to EU consumers.
