What our client say about us
European Accessibility Act
At the moment, I am working on compliance with the upcoming European Accessibility Act in our company and have looked at various web/app-based solutions. Contrasts is by far the best solution because it can be opened quickly and at any time and I don't have to convert the web developer's colors into gb values. Really great solution!

Awesome for previewing / converting colors (web, code)
Until now, I've used various websites to check color contrasts. However, it's sometimes super cumbersome, and when our developers send me colors (iOS or RGB), I usually have to convert them first :/ What's cool about Contrasts is that I can now skip both steps. Using a shortcut (similar to Spotlight), a search bar opens, automatically understanding color values or programming code. And it displays WCAG compliance correctly. Really great idea!

What is the European Accessibility Act, and why is it important for businesses?
The European Accessibility Act is a directive aimed at making products and services more accessible to people with disabilities across the EU. It sets standards for digital accessibility, including color contrast, to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, can access and use digital platforms. Compliance with this act is crucial for businesses to avoid legal ramifications and to foster inclusivity.
How does color contrast relate to the European Accessibility Act?
Color contrast is a key component of digital accessibility mandated by the European Accessibility Act. It ensures that text and important visual elements are distinguishable to users with visual impairments or color vision deficiencies. By conforming to color contrast guidelines outlined in the act, businesses contribute to creating a more inclusive online environment for all users.
Why should companies prioritize checking color contrasts on their digital platforms?
Checking color contrasts is essential for ensuring that digital content is accessible to all users, including those with visual impairments. Non-compliance not only violates accessibility regulations but also excludes a significant portion of the population from accessing information and services online. Prioritizing color contrast checks demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity and legal compliance.
How does your app assist companies in conforming to the European Accessibility Act?
Our app provides a user-friendly interface for checking color contrasts on digital platforms. By simply inputting colors and text, users can instantly determine whether their designs meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards mandated by the European Accessibility Act. This tool empowers businesses to identify and rectify accessibility barriers, ensuring compliance with the law.
Is compliance with the European Accessibility Act a legal requirement for all businesses?
Yes, compliance with the European Accessibility Act is a legal requirement for businesses operating within the EU. The act mandates accessibility standards for various sectors, including digital platforms, to ensure equal access to goods and services for people with disabilities. Non-compliance can result in legal penalties and reputational damage. Therefore, it's imperative for businesses to prioritize accessibility initiatives, such as checking color contrasts, to meet legal obligations and promote inclusivity.
