Is there some type of guide I can read about color contrast?

Yes, we wrote one. It's right here.

Do I really to need check the colors I use in my designs?

You don't have to check all of your colors, only ones you want people to be able to read. If you're uncertain about all this, definitely read the guide.

Any plans for quick keys or other features?

Totally! We've got a long list, but wanted to ship this with critical features only. We're quick key junkies too and this is a high priority.

Are there any power features?

Oh, you better believe it!

Yes! We've tested colors in Sketch, Figma, XD, Illustrator, and *Photoshop.

*Photoshop's color space needs to be set to Display to have the same color space as Contrast.

Sure can. With either of the fields selected you can use arrow key up or arrow key down to adjust the brightness of your color.
