WHAT WHERE HOW
- Delta Phi Star predicts the contrast of text against the background for a given pair of colors.
- Delta Phi Star emerged from the SAPC/APCA project developing new standards for better beat ability on the web.
- Delta Phi Star takes in two
$L^*$ (Lstar) values, and returns an$L^c$ (lightness contrast) value.
