APCA Documentation Repo

Welcome!

APCA™ is the Accessible Perceptual Contrast Algorithm, a new way to predict contrast for text and non-text content on self-illuminated displays. This repository is for the documentation, for issue tracking, and for the discussion forum. The code, apps, variants, and supporting libraries, are in separate repos.

Simple Overview & QuickStart

These are intended for end users, and those interested in a plain language overview without a lot of the math & theory.

FORUMS

For comments or questions see the SAPC-APCA forum here, please post all comments, questions, or discussions regarding theory, math, code, third-party tools, etc., here and not in the satellite repositories, so they can be tracked and resolved. Discussion here may eventually become part of the FAQ and guidelines.
