Color Contrast Checker Developer Workflow Guide

Scenario

Design handoffs often fail accessibility checks late in QA because contrast decisions are not validated during UI build time. This use case shows how engineering teams can run Color Contrast Checker in a repeatable workflow.

Workflow Steps

1. Collect raw input, define success criteria, and document the context before running the tool.
2. Enter foreground and background colors with text size and weight.
3. Check WCAG AA/AAA pass status and APCA score in one place.
4. Adjust colors until both readability and design intent are balanced.
5. Attach output to tickets, docs, or PRs so the procedure can be reused by the team.

Expected Outcomes

• Reduce release risk by shortening validation and debugging cycles.
• Reduce manual variance and increase consistency in recurring tasks.
• Improve cross-team handoffs with clearer input, output, and review standards.
