Frequently Asked Questions About Design
What is the difference between HSL and OKLCH in web design?
OKLCH is perceptually uniform across hues, meaning colors with identical lightness values appear equally bright to the human eye, avoiding the uneven brightness artifacts of standard HSL.
What contrast ratio is required for WCAG AA compliance?
WCAG 2.2 Level AA requires a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (18pt or 14pt bold) and user interface components.
