Accessibility at Palette Prism
Last updated: November 6, 2025
Website: paletteprism.com
Operator: Palette Prism (“we,” “us,” “our”)
Palette Prism is committed to making our website usable by the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology. We design and build with accessibility in mind, and we continuously improve our tools that help creators build accessible color palettes.
Scope
This statement covers all public pages and logged-in areas of paletteprism.com and the tools we provide (e.g., palette generators, contrast checks, color-vision simulations, exportable design tokens).
Standard We Aim For
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. WCAG defines testable criteria at Levels A, AA, and AAA; AA is our primary target and the most commonly adopted benchmark.
What We’ve Implemented
-
Semantic structure: Logical headings, lists, and landmarks where applicable.
-
Keyboard access: Core navigation and controls are operable by keyboard.
-
Focus visibility: Clear focus indicators for interactive elements.
-
Text alternatives: Alt text for meaningful non-text content.
-
Color & contrast tools: Built-in WCAG/APCA contrast indicators and color-vision simulations to support accessible palette creation.
-
Consistent UI: Predictable labels and controls; reduced motion where appropriate.
Note: Contrast measurements and simulations are advisory tools. Actual user experience depends on fonts, sizes, user and OS/browser settings, device gamut (e.g., sRGB vs Display-P3), ambient light, and print processes. Always validate accessibility in your real-world context.
Ongoing Improvements
We run periodic automated scans, manual keyboard/screen-reader tests, and use platform guidance to identify and fix issues. We prioritize barriers affecting:
-
Keyboard navigation and focus order
-
Screen-reader announcements and labels
-
Color contrast and reflow/zoom behavior
-
Dynamic panel behavior and state changes
Platform Notes
Palette Prism runs on a modern website platform with accessibility tooling (e.g., built-in accessibility checks and guidance). Some behaviors are governed by the platform; we follow platform best practices to maximize accessibility.
Compatibility
Our site is designed to work with current versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge on desktop and mobile. Older browsers or assistive technologies may have reduced compatibility.
Technical requirements
-
JavaScript and CSS should be enabled.
-
Some color features use modern color spaces (e.g., Display-P3) and gracefully fall back to sRGB when unavailable.
Known Limitations (Being Tracked)
-
Rare cases where focus order can be improved in dynamic panels.
-
Edge cases where similar user-chosen colors can reduce contrast; our tooling flags issues, but final palettes are user-controlled.
-
Third-party embeds, if used, that we do not fully control; we select vendors that publish accessibility commitments when possible.
If you encounter an issue not listed here, please tell us (see Feedback below).
Alternative Formats
If you need information from this site in an alternative format (for example, a text-only version of a page), contact us and we’ll work with you to provide a suitable alternative.
Feedback & Response Times
If you experience an accessibility problem on PalettePrism.com, please contact us:
-
Email: paletteprism@gmail.com
Please include the page URL, a description of the issue, your browser and any assistive technology in use, and (if comfortable) a screenshot or short recording.
We aim to acknowledge within 2 business days and provide a substantive response within 10 business days.
Preparation of This Statement
-
Method: Self-assessment using WAI guidance, automated scans, manual testing with keyboard and screen reader, and periodic review using platform accessibility tools.
-
Last review: November 6, 2025
-
Planned review: At least annually and after major releases.
Related Notes on Our Tools
-
Contrast & APCA/WCAG: We provide real-time contrast indicators. These are guidance, not legal advice or certification.
-
Color-vision simulation: Simulations approximate how colors may appear under common conditions (e.g., deuteranopia, protanopia, tritanopia, achromatopsia). Results vary across devices.
-
Design tokens & print: Screen colors may not match printed output; we surface gamut/out-of-gamut flags and soft-proofing aids where possible, but final output depends on your environment and vendors.
