Font colours and accessibility

All text on Vic Gov websites should meet a minimum WCAG 2.1 level AA colour contrast ratio. This ensures all text on these websites is easy to read for people with a vision impairment.

WCAG 2.1 level AA requires a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (14 point and bold or larger, or 18 point or larger). Level AAA requires a contrast ratio of 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text.
