Why digital colour palettes matter

  • Accessibility

    Accessible colour palettes ensure that brand colours and other digital assets are welcoming to everyone and not turning away valued customers.

  • Legal compliance

    Conforming to WCAG requirements helps meet government legislation and policies in many regions including Australia, UK, Europe and the US.

  • Brand consistency

    Creating accessible colour palettes allows brands to apply consistent colour schemes across all assets, avoiding the need to go “off-brand” to meet accessibility requirements.
