Hi Jamous,
I'd have to google for how to do ratios. I hate math. One other thing you could try is to use JAWS instead. Get the color. If necessary, copy it to the virtual buffer. Open the JAWS colors.ini file. See if the color name is there. If it is, get the hex values. You have to get the values for each: foreground and background. Plug that into a conversion routine that converts hex to decimal. Then do the math. One way to speed up the process would be to read the CSS and get the colors for all the styles and run them all through a conversion routine. You could also find a color chart and anything you feel is close to the borderline you could check. Sounds like a very painful process, but it might work.

Thanks.

Jim
