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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
A ‘lock’ or ‘pin’ option within the color contrast checker would greatly improve accessibility evaluations and contribute to a more efficient design workflow.
