Contrast checker that suggests a fix for every failing text color

The problem

Low-contrast text is the most common accessibility failure on the web. Free checkers either test one color pair at a time or flag failures without proposing a fix, and the tools that suggest colors sit inside Chrome DevTools or team-priced suites. Designers and content editors need a list of failing text with a ready-to-use passing color.

Why now

WebAIM's February 2026 scan of the top million home pages found low-contrast text on 83.9% of them, up from 79.1% in 2025, with an average of 34 instances per page.

What exists already

• WCAG Color contrast checker ↗Free extension (100,000 users) that checks every element on the page; its listing doesn't mention suggesting passing colors.
• WAVE Evaluation Tool ↗Free full accessibility audit (700,000 users); contrast is one of many issue types.
• Stark ↗Accessibility suite with color suggestions; paid plans from $198 per user per year with a 3-seat minimum.
• Chrome DevTools contrast tools ↗Built in and suggests better colors, but the page-wide contrast report is a developer workflow and partly a preview feature.

MVP scope

1. Scan all visible text and measure contrast against the rendered background
2. Badges on failing elements with the ratio and AA/AAA result
3. Nearest passing color that keeps the same hue
4. Checks for hover, focus and dark-mode states
5. Export failures as CSV or a Markdown issue
6. Runs entirely in the browser; page data never leaves the machine
