> Ive been really struggling with accessible colors

Thanks, feel free to message me if you want some tips!

Most accessibility/WCAG guides say things like "Tip #1: Choose accessible colors", but they don't go into any detail about how you pick sets of colors that contrast, like text/background/border colors for buttons on different backgrounds, as if it's trivial. It's actually really tricky and can feel impossible in some scenarios until you internalize the basic rules and constraints.

I usually see people saying the opposite, that it's easy to pick accessible colors, when it's often not, especially when you have existing branding to stick to.
