Legibility

Which shades pass on each other

Every shade as text on every other shade. 28 of 110 pairings pass 4.5:1 for body text, and 22 more pass 3:1 for large text.

Text shade, then background shade	50	100	200	300	400	500	600	700	800	900	950

800	7.22	6.70	5.70	4.34	2.97	2.23	1.71	1.30	same shade	1.22	1.90
900	8.83	8.20	6.97	5.31	3.64	2.73	2.09	1.59	1.22	same shade	1.55
950	13.76	12.78	10.87	8.28	5.67	4.26	3.27	2.48	1.90	1.55	same shade

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.
