Color Contrast Tools and VPATs

for

Here's an interesting wrinkle: We would like to equip our designers with a color contrast analysis tool so they can check their color schemes themselves. Of course, money is no problem, as there are a number of free tools available from all around the world.

But new software must first be approved by our agency's Internet Technology Working Group, and one requirement for all new software is that it must have a valid VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) on file.

Before I start digging for contacts, I thought I would just ask those who might already know: Is there a color contrast analysis tool out there whose creator has already prepared a VPAT? If so, which one (or ones)?

Apologies in advance for the cross-posting. I'm hoping to reach as wide an audience as possible.

Thanks!
