Legibility
Which shades pass on each other
Every shade as text on every other shade. 30 of 110 pairings pass 4.5:1 for body text, and 20 more pass 3:1 for large text.
| Text shade, then background shade | 50 | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 700 | 800 | 900 | 950 |

Rows are the text shade, columns the background. A bold figure on a tinted cell passes 4.5:1 for body text; a plain one passes 3:1 for large text only; a faint one fails.
Color vision
The scale with color blindness
The same eleven shades as seen with each color vision deficiency. Lightness keeps a ramp in order even where its hue collapses.
Simulated with Machado et al. (2009) at full severity, in linear light.
