Luminance contrast calculator

Enter the Light Reflectance Values (LRV) for two colours. We calculate contrast using the Bowman-Sapolinski method.

LRV is a value from 0 (dark) to 100 (light). Decimals are allowed.

This tool is a guide only. For regulated projects, confirm requirements with your specifier or relevant standards.
