NHS Accessible Colours

Public-Sector organisations have an obligation under the The Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Alongside this, NHS organisation need to ensure they align with the NHS Identity Guidelines. An aspect of those NHS Identity Guidelines show the 23 colours that can be used. It doesn't, however, show which colour combinations meet the colour contrast ratio standards.

I designed and developed a website that combines the NHS Colour Guidelines with the Colour Contrast standards into a single, user-friendly website. The website aimed to assist individuals in identifying NHS colour combinations that adhere to either AA or AAA compliance for contrast ratios, providing the ability of copying the corresponding HEX codes for seamless integration into their projects.
