Fix low color contrast in Wix

Change your theme colors in Site Design, or use the Accessibility Wizard to find failing text.

Checked against Wix's help docs on 2026-10-09. Menu names can change; the source links below have the latest steps.

  1. In the Wix Editor, open Site Design on the left and click Color theme.
  2. Click the color that fails (usually a light text color or a pale background) and enter the passing hex code from your Accessibility Shield dashboard.
  3. For a single text box, select it, click Edit Text, then use the Color icon to pick a darker (or lighter) color.
  4. To find every low-contrast spot, open Settings > Accessibility Wizard, click Scan Site, and choose Improve color contrast under detected issues.
  5. Remember that mobile text colors can be set separately, so check the mobile view too.

Check it: publish your change, then run a new scan from your dashboard. The issue should drop off the list.
