Color Contrast

Color Contrast
 
This is to check that foreground and background color combinations provide sufficient contrast Two colors provide good color visibility if the brightness difference and the color difference between the two colors are greater than a set range. The range for color brightness difference is 125 and the range for color difference is 500 (refer http://www.w3.org/TR/AERT#color-contrast). Some may choose 400 to be the range of color difference as it may already provide sufficient contrast. These values can be changed at the Preferences Dialog - Color Analyzer.
