Currently, when using Figma’s color contrast checker, the modal closes automatically after inspecting the contrast of a single element. This behavior disrupts the workflow when checking multiple elements (like buttons with different text colors) in quick succession.
To enhance productivity and streamline accessibility checks, it would be incredibly useful if the contrast checker modal could be ‘locked’ or set to stay open while navigating between design components.
Why This Matters:
1. Efficiency: Reduces the repetitive task of re-opening the contrast checker, saving valuable time during design reviews.
2. Improved User Experience: Supports a more fluid and uninterrupted design process, especially when auditing UI elements for accessibility compliance.
3. Consistency: Allows designers to maintain focus when assessing multiple elements without needing to re-access the tool repeatedly.
A ‘lock’ or ‘pin’ option within the color contrast checker would greatly improve accessibility evaluations and contribute to a more efficient design workflow.
