Link differentiation (link-visibility)

Links are styled with underlines, boldness, or other visual indicators, in addition to color, to distinguish them from regular text.


Insufficient contrast with surrounding text:

In the paragraph below, the link color (#555555) is too similar to the surrounding black text (#000000), failing the 3:1 contrast requirement between link text and surrounding text.

This article explains how to improve accessibility. Read the full guidance to learn more about common pitfalls.

Note: Possible to automatically test. A tool can compute the computed colors of inline links and their surrounding text, calculate the relative luminance contrast between them, and flag cases where the contrast ratio is < 3:1.
