When the AI color contrast checker indicates compliance, but readability isn’t satisfactory, my workflow involves several steps to ensure optimal readability. First, I assess the text’s font size and style, ensuring that both are appropriate for the content and target audience. Larger and clearer fonts can significantly enhance readability, particularly for users with visual impairments.

Next, I evaluate the line height and spacing. Adequate spacing between lines and letters can prevent text from looking cramped, making it easier for the reader’s eyes to follow along. This often involves tweaking CSS properties like line-height and letter-spacing for web content.

Following that, I consider the background and foreground colors. While contrast ratio might be technically acceptable, the overall color harmony can affect readability. I explore alternative color combinations that maintain compliance while improving visual comfort and reducing eye strain.

I also test the content under different lighting conditions and on multiple devices. This step ensures that readability is consistent across platforms and environments, accommodating the different ways users might view the content.

Finally, I seek feedback from real user testing or accessibility reviews. Direct input from diverse users can highlight issues that might not be immediately apparent through automated tools.

By iterating through these steps, I refine both the aesthetic and functional qualities of the content, balancing technical compliance with practical usability.
