    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this when the user wants to know whether a text, icon or border colour has enough contrast against a background: a WCAG contrast checker for one colour pair (e.g. "does white text on #F59E0B pass WCAG AA", "contrast ratio of #767676 on white", "what text color for this background"). Returns the computed WCAG 2.x ratio (truncated to 2 decimals, rounded down), AA/AAA results for normal text, large text and UI components, a verdict for a given font size, APCA Lc as draft information, and the nearest passing colours for AA and AAA (darker and lighter, same OKLCH hue and chroma). Accepts hex, 8-digit hex with alpha, rgb(), hsl(), hwb(), lab(), lch(), oklab(), oklch(), color(display-p3 ...) and CSS colour names; wide-gamut colours are clipped to sRGB with a note. Does not read colours from images or web pages, resolve CSS variables or currentColor, or check gradients as a whole (check each stop). For 3 or more colours use check_palette_contrast.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this when the user has a colour palette (2 to 12 colours) and wants to know which combinations are accessible: "check contrast of my color palette", "which of these colors can I use for text", "accessible color palette checker". Returns the full pairwise WCAG 2.x contrast matrix (ratios truncated, rounded down), which pairs pass AA/AAA for text or 3:1 for large text and UI, and a recommended text colour for each background (a palette colour that passes AA, otherwise black or white). Does not generate new colours; use generate_accessible_palette for a tonal scale and check_color_contrast for fixes to one pair.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this when the user wants an accessible colour scale or palette built from one colour: "color palette generator from hex", "generate a 50-950 scale from #1E6FD9", "tailwind color palette generator", "accessible color palette for my website". Builds an 11-step 50-950 tonal scale in OKLCH with the base hue, where 50-400 pass AA with black text, 500 passes AA with both white and black text, 600 passes AA with white text and 700-950 pass AAA with white text, and each ratio is reported. Returns CSS custom properties and a Tailwind config as downloads. Does not pick colours by mood or brand meaning and does not extract palettes from images.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
