Building Randoma11y
Building RandomA11y.com started with two questions. There are 131,766,759,467,470 combinations of hex codes. How many accessible color combinations are there and how many of them are aesthetically pleasing?
People are often times better at picking colors than they think. Truth be told, most design tools don’t make it easy.
If you show people a number of color combinations in rapid succession, they can develop reactions quickly on whether they like them or not. Over time they might start to notice patterns in their taste.
While there are many contrast checkers available online or for local development, we were unaware of any that let you cycle through random combinations that fit within the constraint of accessibility.
