Principle 1 Perceivable · Guideline 1.4: Distinguishable
1.4.6 Contrast (Enhanced)
Text reaches at least 7:1, large text 4.5:1.
What this means in practice
The stricter version of 1.4.3, aimed at users with substantial low vision. Not mandatory, but a good target for body text and often cheap to reach.
What Wave Access contributes
Der Kontrast-Assistent rechnet auf den vom Scan gemeldeten Zielwert – auch auf den erhöhten, wenn er geprüft wird.
Normative wording
The binding text lives at the W3C. What you read here is our own faithful rendering – not a quotation.
