Bridge PCA is rebooted and running at bridgepca.com Bridge PCA uses the APCA contrast engine, but provides a modified output that directly indicates WCAG 2 compliance.

Great #tool to generate #accessible #colorScales buff.ly/WnyH49r I built something similar at work, but never got around polishing it enough to open source it. Great to see @seanw.org did. ❤️

Thanks! You mean plot the editable HSL curves going left-to-right across the palette/swatches rather than plots going top-to-bottom across a single swatch? If it helps, you can make whatever kinds of gradients you want within a swatch right now. Quick example www.inclusivecolors.com?style_dictio...

Did you try on desktop? Click an element on the mockup to show the current contrast ratio, the target ratio (e.g. 4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for border), and if it passes. :) The contrast menu at the top lets you compare any color pair. Mobile has limited space but outlines mockup failures. #a11y

@frontendfocus.bsky.social Thanks for the mention of my color palette creator inclusivecolors.com in the latest Frontend Focus newsletter frontendfoc.us/issues/672! I wasn't sure where all the extra traffic was coming from at first. 😄

Making sustainable/green websites has lots of overlap with making fast loading websites, but with emphasis on overall page weight (including below-the-fold) and green web hosting? It's interesting to see standards here evolve! #webdesign #webdev #climatechange developer.mozilla.org/en-US/blog/i...

Quick accessible dark mode palette exploration using my inclusivecolors.com tool. 🙂 I'm curious what steps designers follow to make a dark mode palette from an existing light mode palette, and how they keep them both in sync as they tweak colors later? #designsky #a11y #design #webdesign #css #ux
Demo of an accessible dark mode palette with 8 color swatches, shown on a UI mockup. Generated via http://inclusivecolors.com/.
