I recently discovered that the “check color contrast” feature in the Figma color palette window is not 100% accurate and rounds up the contrast value compared to the WebAim Contrast Checker. This is very concerning and potentially problematic when resolving passing contrast levels among brand colors and accessibility. Warning to designers: be sure to double check your contrast levels and don’t rely on Figma’s tool alone!
Background color: #355F78

WebAim Contrast Checker fails at 4.49:1
Contrast Finder fails at 4.49631
Figma passes at 4.5:1
Stark plugin passes at 4.5:1

This is also a large concern for me and my team. If accessibility is not a priority for figma we may be forced to choose another option so we can maintain ADA compliance...
Our team uses Figma daily and this issue is of great importance to our team. This issue ““check color contrast” feature in the Figma color palette window is not 100% accurate and rounds up the contrast value” is a problem for our ADA compliance. We would encourage Figma to work on this issue.
