Google Lighthouse - Color Contrast Checker

I tested my website using Google Lighthouse and, among other things, checked my score for accessibility. It seems that my color choices provided poor reading quality for some people. The foreground text didn't show up well enough with the background colors I was using.

I found the WebAIM Color Contrast Checker and used it to tweak the colors on my site.

I ran a new Lighthouse audit and the issues were gone. Check out the WebAIM site on your colors. It looks like they have a lot of other information on accessibility that might be worthwhile but I haven't reviewed it yet.
