Why is the Accessibility color contrast only visible in direct color mode vs. Style color where its missing

Where is that feature? I don't even have it.

Hey ​@john-mainboard, thanks for reaching out! 

Right now, this is intentionally unavailable for color styles. Since there is no background to compare the color, we aren’t able to calculate a ratio.

Hi ​@Luciano, thanks for reaching out! 

We launched this feature on March 28th: https://x.com/figma/status/1905637360705896545

You should see the Check color contrast when using the Color picker. 

I can understand your logic explanation when you’re editing a color style via the main styles view, but when you’re doing it from the artboard and just drilling down, it should be visible because there you DO have the BACKGROUND as you’re deep clicking from the frame background. 

Hey ​@john-mainboard, thanks for the additional context! 

Ultimately, the team decided not to build out that capability, because it wouldn't necessarily work as intended across all instances, especially when/if users had multiple, i.e. light/dark, versions of the same design. 

Thanks again for the feedback though. This is now on the team’s radar to think through for future improvement. 

The accessibility contrast information in the color picker does not work with color variables 😮. However, my button is clearly on a background, so it is possible to compare the two colors. This renders the tool useless once the color is used as a variable.
In the variable table, it should be possible to choose the background color to compare the contrast of these two colors.
