Re: Testing color contrast as a screen reader user

I have recently started using the HTML_CodeSniffer by Squiz. You add it as a
bookmarklet, and when clicked on, it analyzes the current page for
accessibility errors and warnings using the three levels of WCAG or Sect 508
standards. It seems to do a pretty good job of analyzing color contrast and
can put a "pointer" on the place where the "error" occurs. This is very
helpful when used with FireBug to isolate the CSS code in the Content
Management System that needs to be fixed.
