Claims that about 217 million people have visual impairments and that automation can catch roughly 30% of accessibility issues lead to a concrete result: a small JavaScript app built with Next.js TypeScript React Emotion that ingests a color palette, computes relative luminance, sorts colors, runs binary searches and outputs enhanced colors showing AA/AAA matches. Examples show 50 palette colors would otherwise need ~2,500 manual checks, the tool finds which pairs meet 4.5:1 or 7.0:1 and the demo proves the approach works.
