Assign roles and check the pair

The lightest and darkest supplied values are the starting reading pair. The accent label adds black or white, whichever has greater contrast. You can change the accent below.

A palette in context

Use this preview to inspect reading text and an accent label.

Example action

Reading text #3B0764 on #FFFFFF: 14.996:1 - Pass normal text AA.

Accent label #000000 on #F3E8FF: 17.798:1.

Checks use unrounded ratios and opaque sRGB. The example action is a visual sample. Test boundaries, focus and hover in your actual component.

All color pairs: normal text AA

Rows are text; columns are backgrounds. Each cell gives the ratio and AA result.
Text / background	#F3E8FF	#3B0764	#A855F7	#FFFFFF
#F3E8FF	1.00:1 Fail	12.71:1 Pass	3.35:1 Fail	1.18:1 Fail
#3B0764	12.71:1 Pass	1.00:1 Fail	3.79:1 Fail	15.00:1 Pass
#A855F7	3.35:1 Fail	3.79:1 Fail	1.00:1 Fail	3.96:1 Fail
#FFFFFF	1.18:1 Fail	15.00:1 Pass	3.96:1 Fail	1.00:1 Fail

Keep the scope of each result clear

All comparisons use opaque sRGB and WCAG relative luminance. Normal-text AA requires 4.5:1; a displayed rounded ratio never overrides the unrounded pass or fail. A palette is not a complete accessibility audit.
