Reference for WCAG 2.2 color-contrast conformance - covers SC 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum, AA), 1.4.6 Contrast (Enhanced, AAA), 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast (AA), and 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus (AA) - with the canonical contrast ratios (4.5:1 normal text, 3:1 large text and UI components), measurement formula references, and bulk design-token checking patterns. Use when designing a color palette, reviewing a component for accessibility, or auditing existing CSS for contrast violations.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# wcag-color-contrast

## Overview

WCAG 2.2 specifies four color-contrast Success Criteria
([wcag22][wcag22]):

[wcag22]: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/

| SC      | Level | What it covers                                                       |
|---------|-------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1.4.3   | AA    | Text contrast minimums - **4.5:1** normal, **3:1** large.           |
| 1.4.6   | AAA   | Enhanced text contrast - **7:1** normal, **4.5:1** large.            |
| 1.4.11  | AA    | Non-text contrast - UI components and graphics - **3:1**.           |
| 1.4.13  | AA    | Content on Hover/Focus - keyboard-dismissable, hoverable, persistent.|

**Large text** per WCAG 2.2 ([wcag22][wcag22]): 18pt+ regular OR
14pt+ bold (24px / 18.66px in browsers default; 19px+ if bold).

## When to use

- Designing a new color palette / design tokens.
- Reviewing a component's CSS for contrast violations.
- Setting up bulk-checking of design tokens via tooling.
- Authoring per-component a11y checklists (paired with
  `screen-reader-test-author` references/wcag-checklist.md).
- Configuring per-rule severity in
  `axe-a11y`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add testland/qa/wcag-color-contrast@sha256:622c4555afa4d51a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.84b37f4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
