Our team tested two color contrast checkers and one failed badly on real screens.
We built a new form and used a popular online tool that said our text passed, but when we showed it to a user with low vision on their actual phone, they couldn't read half the labels. The other checker, which simulates different vision types, caught the issue right away because it tests for more than just the basic ratio. Has anyone else found a checker they trust for real world use?

Stick with checkers that simulate vision deficiencies. The basic ratio ones are basically useless for real people. I only use the one built into my browser's dev tools now, it has those filters. Never had a complaint since switching to that method.
