Debugging Accessible Contrast with Chrome Dev Tools
In this lesson, we use the element inspector in Chrome to test and improve our contrast to meet WCAG AA Contrast Ratio Standards.
Resources:
Instructor: [0:00] Let's use Chrome DevTools to inspect this element and debug the contrast. If I use this pointer tool in the Element Inspector, I can select an element. You can see that there's a tooltip and it gives you a bunch of different data.
[0:14] This data tells us we have a contrast ratio that doesn't meet WCAG accessibility standards. Additionally, we can select this paragraph. Next to the color property in the Styles Inspector, there's a box which represents a color picker, and we can select that picker.
[0:30] If we scroll down, we see a contrast ratio. When we click show more, we can use this refresh tool to give us an automatically accessible contrast.
