Test Case Summary
Test Case ID
TC8.1-3-fail-2
Test Case Description
Detect the foreground and background text and size contrast ratio. Determine whether contrast ratio is sufficient. The text in the code sample at 18 point font does not provide sufficient contrast between the foreground and background.
Applicable ICT Baseline Test
8.1 Test Procedure for Contrast Minimum
Baseline Test ID: 8.1-ContrastMinimum
Test Instruction: 3
Test Case Detail
Expected Baseline Result
Fail
The foreground text in the code sample DOES NOT provide sufficient contrast (1.72:1) based on the text size (18 pt font), foreground color, and background color.

Test Case Instruction
| Test Instruction | Instruction Detail | Expected Test Case Result |
|---|---|---|
| IC | All visible text AND images of text (except those noted in Limitations, Assumptions, or Exceptions above) | The sample code contains text that is 18 pt font |
| 8.1-1 | Determine the contrast ratio of foreground text and background. | The contrast ratio for the text is 1.72:1 |
| 8.1-2 | Check that the contrast ratio is at least 4.5:1. [SC 3.14] | FAIL: The contrast ratio is less than 3:1 (it is 1.72:1 ) |
| 8.1-3 | If the contrast ratio is less than 4.5:1, check that the ratio is at least 3:1 AND the font meets one of the following criteria [SC 1.4.3]: At least 18 point (23.94 pixels); At least 14 point (18.62 pixels) AND bold (at least 700 font weight) | FAIL: The font is at least 18 point, but the contrast ratio is less than 3:1 (1.72:1) |
| Results | Both of the above checks fail, then Baseline Test 8.1-Contrast Minimum. | FAIL - both checks fail |
