Lyrics
VERSE 1: When you’re scrolling through the night, trying to read what’s on the site One point four point three is the key to set it right Four point five to one’s the magic ratio, don’t you know For regular text to show against the background glow If your vision’s getting hazy or the years have made it tough This contrast rule ensures your text is clear enough Not just black and white, it’s luminance we measure Making words stand out like digital treasure
CHORUS: Can you see me now? (Can you see me now?) Got that contrast flow (Got that contrast flow) Four point five to one for the regular show Three to one when the text gets bold and grows Making content shine with that accessible soul One point four point three, now everybody knows
VERSE 2: Large text gets to party with a lower ratio dance Eighteen point or fourteen bold, they get a special chance Three to one is all they need to make their presence known Logos and decorations get to groove all on their own No requirements for the text that’s just for show Inactive buttons dimmed out, they can take it slow From young to old, color blind or not This guideline makes sure everyone’s got a shot
CHORUS: Can you see me now? (Can you see me now?) Got that contrast flow (Got that contrast flow) Four point five to one for the regular show Three to one when the text gets bold and grows Making content shine with that accessible soul One point four point three, now everybody knows
BRIDGE/OUTRO:** It ain’t about the color, it’s the light and dark between Relative luminance making everything seen Tools can check your ratios, make your testing clean Remember one point four point three That’s the contrast harmony Making web content funky and barrier-free
