# Meet minimum color contrast ratios
Approximately 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women have some form of color vision deficiency. Low contrast text is also difficult for users with low vision, aging eyesight, or those reading in bright sunlight. Insufficient contrast is one of the most common WCAG failures and directly prevents users from reading content they need.
## Quick Reference
- Normal text (< 18pt or < 14pt bold): minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 — WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.3 Level AA
- Large text (≥ 18pt / 24px, or ≥ 14pt bold / ~18.67px bold): minimum 3:1 contrast ratio
- Non-text UI components (icons, focus indicators, input borders): minimum 3:1 against adjacent color — WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.11 Level AA
- WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.6 (Level AAA) requires 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text
- Decorative text and logotypes are exempt from contrast requirements
