Figma’s brand uses a multi-color rainbow logo over neutral white/black canvases. Their primary action color is a saturated blue tuned for contrast. This page audits Figma’s primary brand-color combinations against the WCAG 2.1 AA threshold (4.5:1 for normal-size body text). Results are computed live from the published brand colors and the WCAG luminance formula.

What this means in practice
Figma Blue marginally fails AA on white at body size — it sits just under 4.5:1. White-on-blue, however, easily passes for buttons. The Figma marketing site routinely pairs the blue with white text, never as text on white.
Frequently asked questions
Does Figma comply with WCAG?
Brand color tokens are one input to compliance — actual page conformance depends on which pairs are used where. Figma has 1 of 3 primary pairs passing AA at body size. Some pairs are intended for large text or background usage only.
Where can I check the latest brand guidelines?
Brand guidelines change without notice. Always cross-check against Figma’s current published brand site or design-system documentation before shipping. The hex values used here reflect publicly documented brand color tokens at the time of writing.
How do I fix failing brand pairs in my own design system?
When a brand color fails AA on white, the standard fix is to introduce a darker variant (often suffixed -700 or -600 in design-system terminology) for use as text on light surfaces, while reserving the lighter brand color for large headings or background usage. The contrast checker above suggests the nearest passing color in either direction.
