Validate color accessibility for color blind users

Accessibility Check

Validate theme or chart colors for color blind accessibility, checking contrast ratios and suggesting alternatives.

Usage

/accessibility-check {target}

Arguments

  • target (optional): "theme" or "chart" - defaults to active theme

Examples

/accessibility-check
/accessibility-check theme
/accessibility-check chart

Tool Mapping

This command uses the accessibility_validate_colors MCP tool:

accessibility_validate_colors(
    colors=["#228be6", "#40c057", "#fa5252"],  # Colors to check
    check_types=["deuteranopia", "protanopia", "tritanopia"],
    min_contrast_ratio=4.5                      # WCAG AA standard
)

Or validate a full theme:

accessibility_validate_theme(
    theme_name="corporate"
)

Workflow

  1. User invokes: /accessibility-check theme
  2. Tool analyzes: Theme color palette
  3. Tool simulates: Color perception for each deficiency type
  4. Tool checks: Contrast ratios between color pairs
  5. Tool returns: Issues found and alternative suggestions

Color Blindness Types

Type Affected Colors Population
Deuteranopia Red-Green (green-blind) ~6% males, 0.4% females
Protanopia Red-Green (red-blind) ~2.5% males, 0.05% females
Tritanopia Blue-Yellow ~0.01% total

Output Example

{
  "theme_name": "corporate",
  "overall_score": "B",
  "issues": [
    {
      "type": "contrast",
      "severity": "warning",
      "colors": ["#fa5252", "#40c057"],
      "affected_by": ["deuteranopia", "protanopia"],
      "message": "Red and green may be indistinguishable for red-green color blind users",
      "suggestion": "Use blue (#228be6) instead of green to differentiate from red"
    },
    {
      "type": "contrast_ratio",
      "severity": "error",
      "colors": ["#fab005", "#ffffff"],
      "ratio": 2.1,
      "required": 4.5,
      "message": "Insufficient contrast for WCAG AA compliance",
      "suggestion": "Darken yellow to #e6a200 for ratio of 4.5+"
    }
  ],
  "recommendations": [
    "Add patterns or shapes to distinguish data series, not just color",
    "Include labels directly on chart elements",
    "Consider using a color-blind safe palette"
  ],
  "safe_palettes": {
    "categorical": ["#4477AA", "#EE6677", "#228833", "#CCBB44", "#66CCEE", "#AA3377", "#BBBBBB"],
    "sequential": ["#FEE0D2", "#FC9272", "#DE2D26"],
    "diverging": ["#4575B4", "#FFFFBF", "#D73027"]
  }
}

WCAG Contrast Standards

Level Ratio Use Case
AA (normal text) 4.5:1 Body text, labels
AA (large text) 3:1 Headings, 14pt+ bold
AAA (enhanced) 7:1 Highest accessibility

Color-Blind Safe Palettes

The tool can suggest complete color-blind safe palettes:

IBM Design Colors

Designed for accessibility:

#648FFF #785EF0 #DC267F #FE6100 #FFB000

Tableau Colorblind 10

Industry-standard accessible palette:

#006BA4 #FF800E #ABABAB #595959 #5F9ED1
#C85200 #898989 #A2C8EC #FFBC79 #CFCFCF

Okabe-Ito

Optimized for all types of color blindness:

#E69F00 #56B4E9 #009E73 #F0E442 #0072B2
#D55E00 #CC79A7 #000000
  • /theme-new {name} - Create accessible theme from the start
  • /theme-validate {name} - General theme validation
  • /chart {type} - Create chart (check colors after)

Best Practices

  1. Don't rely on color alone - Use shapes, patterns, or labels
  2. Test with simulation - View your visualizations through color blindness simulators
  3. Use sufficient contrast - Minimum 4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for large elements
  4. Limit color count - Fewer colors = easier to distinguish
  5. Use semantic colors - Blue for information, red for errors (with icons)
