Color contrast correction

Read Original

The article explains the development of a color contrast correction tool in Emacs Lisp. It uses the CIE L*a*b* colorspace and the Delta E 2000 formula to measure luminance and color distance, automatically adjusting foreground/background color pairs to meet readability thresholds. The code is available in Emacs packages, and future work includes adding color blindness support.
