I'm a Designer, Blogger, Web Enthusiast, and an Apple Geek, This blog is my little corner of the web. I'm from Oklahoma, went to Oklahoma State University, moved to St. Louis for a while, now I operate out of Oklahoma City. My main job description would be a "Freebie Maker" if you had to describe what I spend most of my time doing. I like to give away only the best quality stuff to help designers everywhere. I also like to post workflow tips to help people work faster. These are the posts where everyone can chime in until we find the best way to do a certain task. I enjoy the community of professionals (and non-professionals) we've built here and I hope you find something useful while you're here. Nice to meet you ;)

About AccessColor AccessColor tests the color contrast and color brightness between the foreground and background of all elements in the DOM to make sure that the contrast is high enough for people with visual impairments. Assuring that you provide enough color contrast between foreground and background colors takes time and we hope that this tool will help web developers to build accessible websites by visually flagging the section(s) of a page with problematic color combinations. AccessColor will find the relevant colour combinations within your HTML and CSS documents rather than requiring you to find each value to input yourself in order to test the contrast between each colour combination.
