The author had the AI check the WCAG AA contrast ratio for all text and backgrounds on the page, asking it to provide alternative color values that preserve the original style as much as possible for any failures.
- The model found 6 failure cases.
- The author discovered that the brand's primary indigo color missed the AA standard by just 0.03, which could be fixed by changing a single hex value.
- This type of prompt is great for design reviews and quick accessibility checks.
