What is APCA?

APCA(Advanced Perceptual Contrast Algorithm) is a modern color contrast algorithm that aims to be be perceptually uniform. It is currently being evaluated as a part of the WCAG 3 draught process.


Note: Because APCA is still being evaluated, it is likely that some aspects of the algorithm and scoring system will change between APCA versions.
