What is that one thing that you want for checking accessibility?

As a UX Designer, we are always looking to make digital products accessible to all. There are many tools to check accessibility of your design, but still many designers have raised concerns about having: a tool that could validate entire color systems instead of just individual contrast ratios. a tool that could stimulate Dar & Light themes simultaneously. and many more... What do you guys say and have you faced similar issues?

Great discussion! As a UX designer, I completely agree that accessibility is crucial, and while there are a variety of tools out there, there are still some gaps that need addressing. I’d love to see a tool that can **validate entire color systems**, as you mentioned. Being able to assess the contrast ratios for a whole color palette, rather than just individual elements, would save a lot of time and ensure consistency across the design. Additionally, **simultaneous testing for both Dark and Light themes** would be extremely helpful. Often, it's challenging to visualize how the design will look in both modes and ensure that it remains accessible across both, especially when color choices and contrast need to work well in both environments. Another idea I think would be valuable is a **real-time simulation of different types of visual impairments** (such as color blindness, low vision, etc.) to ensure that the design is accessible to a wide range of users without needing to manually toggle settings. These tools could save designers a lot of time and help ensure a more thorough approach to accessibility. Would love to hear what other designers think!
