color-contrast() – Target Contrast Ratio Demo
Nice demo by Daniel Yuschick, showing how color-contrast() does its thing. Using the controls you can change the target contrast using a keyword or a custom value. Good use of Custom Properties there as well! 👨🔬 To check this demo you’ll need Safari Technology Preview 122+ with the CSS color-contrast() Experimental Feature enabled.
A trick you can use to make text better stand out against a background image, is to use a color overlay with a certain opacity on top of the image. This tool by Yaphi calculates the ideal opacity to use, so that the contrast meets the WCAG standards.
