  1. Target Element Selection

    • Identify the text or graphical object potentially failing the luminosity ratio test.

    • Example Target: "Share Your Thoughts" text.

  2. Analyzing Color Contrast

    • Open the Color Contrast Analyzer tool.

    • Evaluate the luminosity ratio of the selected element.
