WCAG 3 APCA Lc contrast calculations #197
Comments
APCA is already a supported method of contrast generation in Leonardo. In the UI you can access this option in the Theme Settings menu. In the Leonardo JavaScript module, you can define or set the method using the Note: this apparently was not documented in the Readme when the API was added in for APCA. I will log a different issue to resolve that. |
Description
As the method of calculating contrast that is referenced in WCAG 2 has shown to not be very good at telling us contrast information that would be real world applicable, it would be helpful to get APCA Lc calculations included in the same tools.
Why do you need this feature?
My organisations need to (legally) follow the guidelines in WCAG 2.x, but we would also like to have contrasts that are actually readable. We would like to also see APCA-calculations, as it is likely that WCAG 3 will in 3-4 years be the legally required standard. We also know that (even if the algorithm is in beta) APCA-calculations is probably the best option we have to try to to make colour combinations that do not exclude.
