📘 Harmony Studio: Features & Accessibility Guide ▼
⚡ WCAG 2.1 Contrast Checker
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) contrast ratio measures the difference in brightness between text and its background. This ensures that content is readable for people with low vision or varying viewing conditions.
- ☀ (White Text) & ☾ (Black Text) Badges: Display the contrast scores for each color.
- AA Rating (Min 4.5:1): Standard compliance for readable body text.
- AAA Rating (Min 7.0:1): Enhanced compliance for maximum readability.
👁 Color Blindness Simulator
About 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women experience color vision deficiency. Simulating these deficiencies helps ensure that color-coded visual hierarchy is accessible.
- Protanopia (Red-Blind): Imprints lack of red cones; red channel drops significantly.
- Deuteranopia (Green-Blind): Imprints lack of green cones; most common form of color-blindness.
- Tritanopia (Blue-Blind): Imprints lack of blue cones; shows blues as green/teals.
- Achromatopsia (Total): Complete color absence; interface renders in shades of gray.
⚙️ Fine-Tune (The Color Inspector)
The Fine-Tune feature allows you to break away from the strict mathematical harmony rules and manually adjust any individual color in your palette without losing the core aesthetic.
- Open the Inspector: Click the sliders icon located in the Action Island at the bottom-right of any color card.
- Adjust HSL Values: A centralized modal will appear. Use the smooth sliders to precisely adjust the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness.
- Real-Time Preview: The entire color grid underneath the modal updates in real-time, allowing you to see exactly how your tweak affects the global harmony!
🪄 Auto-Fix (WCAG Contrast Adjuster)
Accessibility is critical. Text must have sufficient contrast against its background to be readable. The Auto-Fix feature acts as your automated accessibility engineer.
- Spot the Failures: Look for red FAIL badges in the contrast row of your color cards.
- Click the Magic Wand: Whenever a color fails contrast, a magic wand icon automatically appears next to the badge.
- Instant Resolution: Click the wand! The algorithm will instantly adjust the lightness of that color up or down just enough to achieve a passing 4.5 contrast ratio, preserving the original hue.
