I like the one from Webaim (http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/)
because it lets me change the colors. But if I'm just auditing (where I
don't need to fix it), I prefer the one from TPG because even when the
contrast passes, you can see how it will be presented to people with
different types of color blindness.
