Contraste is a macOS utility that simulates various forms of color vision deficiency to help designers and developers verify their UI meets accessibility standards. By applying real-time filters to your screen, it allows you to quickly identify and fix contrast issues that could hinder users with visual impairments. This tool is essential for creating inclusive digital experiences that comply with WCAG guidelines.
