NILS has just released a tool for checking foreground and background colour combinations to determine if they provide good colour visibility. Determining “colour visibility” is based on algorithms suggested by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
So says steve faulkner
The Contrast Analyser version 1.0 is now available.
There has been some minor changes to the user interface, the options and help controls are now menus. The algorithm used to calculate the transformation of colours for the 3 types of colour blindness has been updated (thanks to the good people at Vischeck [http://www.vischeck.com] for their help.) and there has been an extra colour pallet added that consists of different shades of the currently selected colour. There will soon be an Italian version thanks to Roberto Castaldo and Makoto Ueki is helping Jun with the Japanese version.
