Explanation

Code 37 is used to indicate that there is a contrast ratio of at least 7:1 between text and its background. The contrast ration must be at least 4.5:1 for large/heading text.

This code corresponds to WCAG 2 Success Criterion 1.4.6 Contrast (Enhanced). Publications should pass the requirements of that success criterion in order to declare this code.

Although the code's definition does not mention images of text as falling under its scope, the contrast requirement should also be assumed for images.

Refer to code 26 for minimum accessible contrast requirements.

Only for use in ONIX 3.0 or later.
