The WCAG guidelines for color accessibility include ensuring a color contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 between text and its background [3]. Additionally, the guidelines recommend using additional visual cues in addition to color to help individuals with color blindness or low visual acuity distinguish between elements [4]. These guidelines are crucial in making the web more accessible for everyone [14]. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are created by a working group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) called the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) [15].
