Polychrom

Polychrom is a new Figma plugin to check your contrast using the APCA method which is different from the current contrast checking. APCA includes font specifics like weight and size, which isn't the case with regular contrast validation. This will be part of the next WCAG (accessibility guidelines). What's great is you only have to select the text layer and it will automatically check the contrast based on the layer behind it.

Try Polychrom

Screenshot of a Figma plugin interface named 'Polychrom,' featuring a modern, glassmorphism design with a semi-transparent background blurring the content underneath. The plugin displays a vibrant gradient from purple to green, with UI elements for typography settings such as font size and weight. In the center, large numerals '36' are prominently displayed with a stylized effect, and various slider controls and numeric inputs are visible for detailed design adjustments. There's a colorful, circular widget in the top right corner showing the number '75', possibly indicating a percentage.
