Contrast is not just for text.

Field borders, icons and focus outlines need at least 3:1 contrast against the colours next to them.

WCAG 2.2 sets a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal-size text and 3:1 for large text.

Light grey on white often falls short. Check text colours before you publish a new button or banner.

This good-looking contrast checker – a GOV.UK Design System side project by @iknowdavehouse.bsky.social and Nick Colley – remains my favourite.

I really like documenting trash in different parts of the city. It’s interesting where people leave their mark on the environment.
