Does anyone know of a site for fixing low contrast. My blog has v.pale grey (like #EEE), on a dark-green background. To me - normal vision - it looks high contrast

Automated tools are a good start, but they're not the be-all and end-all. They aren't always right because they're mathematical approximations of reality.

For a site I'm working on the art department specified a set of colors that validate perfectly in the automated a11y tools, but are a visual disaster.

One thing that helps, though, is to make sure your computer and monitor(s) are all in the same color space. I discovered a few weeks ago that my main preview monitor wasn't set to the same space as my computer, and changing them to match made a world of difference.
