color-accessibility

color-accessibility is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 32 tokens per session (618 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to choosing and checking colors so people with color vision deficiencies can read text, charts, alerts, and interface states.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating palettes, data visualizations, status indicators, form validation states, charts, or interface designs.
Why use it?
It helps prevent low-contrast text and color-only signals from hiding information or making interfaces difficult to use.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

color-accessibility scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Color Accessibility

Table of Contents

Overview

Accessible color design ensures all users, including those with color vision deficiency, can access and understand information.

When to Use

  • Creating color palettes
  • Designing data visualizations
  • Testing interface designs
  • Status indicators and alerts
  • Form validation states
  • Charts and graphs

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

WCAG Contrast Ratios:

WCAG AA (Minimum):
  - Normal text: 4.5:1
  - Large text (18pt+): 3:1
  - UI components & graphical elements: 3:1
  - Focus indicators: 3:1

WCAG AAA (Enhanced):
  - Normal text: 7:1
  - Large text: 4.5:1
  - Better for accessibility

---
Testing Contrast:

Tools:
  - WebAIM Contrast Checker
  - Color Contrast Analyzer
  - Figma plugins
  - Browser DevTools

Formula (WCAG): Contrast = (L1 + 0.05) / (L2 + 0.05)
  Where L = relative luminance

// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Ensure 4.5:1 contrast minimum (WCAG AA)
  • Test with color blindness simulator
  • Use patterns or icons with color
  • Label states with text, not color alone
  • Test with real users with color blindness
  • Document color usage in design system
  • Choose accessible color palettes
  • Use sequential colors for ordered data
  • Validate all color combinations
  • Include focus indicators

What ships with it

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
