WCAG 2.0
[మార్చు]As a guide to selecting foreground and background colors for text, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (guideline 1.4) classifies contrast ratios for ordinary text as follows:
| Font size | Not Compliant | Level AA | Level AAA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | < 4.5 | 4.5 to 7.0 | > 7.0 |
| Large (18 pt or 14 pt bold) | < 3.0 | 3.0 to 4.5 | > 4.5 |
Normal wiki-text is rendered by common browsers at roughly 9.5 to 10.5 pt (12.5 to 14 px), depending on skin. Text would need to be about 180% or 140% bold to qualify as "Large" for WCAG purposes.
