Color is one of the most powerful tools in interface design, but it can also be one of the most exclusionary if used carelessly. A strong color system starts with sufficient contrast ratios between text and background, following WCAG guidelines of at least 4.5 to 1 for normal text. Beyond contrast, never rely on color alone to communicate meaning. Pair color with icons, labels, or patterns so that users with color vision deficiencies can still understand your interface. Test your palette with simulators like Stark or Colour Contrast Analyser. Consider cultural associations with color across your user base. Document your color tokens clearly so that developers can implement them consistently. When you build color systems with accessibility from the start, you create interfaces that feel intentional and welcoming to every user.
