Colour Accessibility Guidelines

Approximately 4.5% of the population is colour blind, and many more have low vision. Ensuring your brand colours are accessible isn’t just ethical — it’s good business. Here are the key rules:

WCAG AA Contrast (4.5:1)

Normal text must have a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against its background. Large text (18px+ or 14px+ bold) needs at least 3:1.

Don't Rely on Colour Alone

Never use colour as the only way to convey information. Add text labels, icons, or patterns alongside colour indicators (e.g., error states, status badges).

Test With Real Users

Use browser extensions like “Colorblindly” or tools like WebAIM to simulate how colour-blind users see your design. Test all common types (protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia).

Document Your Palette

Create a brand style guide with hex codes, RGB values, and defined usage rules for each colour. This ensures consistency across your team and external designers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Consider your industry, audience, and personality. Use colour psychology as a guide, then generate palettes with AI tools. Test for accessibility and ensure they work across digital and print.
