Your brand, checked for contrast, applied everywhere

This is a deliberate product decision and it is worth explaining, because a competitor could describe the same feature as enforcement and sound stronger.

A brand palette is not something an event organizer is allowed to change. It arrives from a brand team, it is in a guideline document, and the person setting up the app has no authority to darken it because a tool told them to. A checker that refuses to save would not produce an accessible app; it would produce an organizer who abandons the theme editor, ships the default colours, and loses the branding that was the reason to buy a branded app in the first place.

So the check measures every pair, shows the ratio, says plainly when a pair falls below AA, and asks the person to confirm. What that produces is an organizer who knows. Frequently they take the number back to the brand team, which is exactly the conversation that should be happening, and one that a blocked save would have ended in frustration instead.

We describe this as advisory everywhere, including here, because describing an advisory check as enforcement would be the kind of small dishonesty that a procurement team is right to punish.

Contrast checking on themes is a real, shipped capability and it is the one we can describe precisely. It is not the same as a conformance claim for the whole product, and we are not going to imply otherwise.

What is true today: every theme colour pair is measured against WCAG AA and the result is surfaced to the person choosing the colours. What we do not have is a published VPAT, a third-party accessibility audit, or a WCAG conformance statement for the applications as a whole.

If your procurement process requires a VPAT or an independent audit report, ask us directly rather than inferring an answer from this page. That is the honest position, and it is more useful to a public-sector or association buyer than a vaguer claim would be.

Organisations with a brand team that will review the app before it ships, which is most corporates and every agency's client. Associations and public-sector bodies, whose procurement screens on accessibility and who ask questions that deserve an accurate answer.

And, in practice, the person setting the theme at nine at night the week before the event, who benefits most from being told that their brand's light grey on white measures three to one before four hundred people have to read it.
