A Contrast Checker Lands in the Site Editor

Pick a text color that fails WCAG and the editor will tell you before a reviewer does. It is not a full audit. It is a seatbelt.

The Site Editor now flags contrast failures on some text and button pairings. It uses WCAG 2.2 numbers, not vibes.

It will miss gradients, images as backgrounds, and the clever overlay you are so proud of. Use it anyway. Then test with a real checker.

Accessibility-ready is still a human process. This just removes the most embarrassing misses.
