CSS contrast-color(): Automating Color Contrast for Accessibility

CSS's new `contrast-color()` function simplifies color choices by automatically selecting black or white text to contrast with a given background color. This article delves into its usage, compares the WCAG 2.1 and APCA algorithms for contrast calculation, and explores how to use `prefers-contrast` media queries for better accessibility. While currently limited to black/white, future iterations may offer more customizable options. The function simplifies development while improving accessibility, particularly when managing multiple color states.
