About PairPass

PairPass exists because the four halves of one job — generate, audit, repair, export — lived in four different tools, and the seams between them are exactly where failing pairings slipped through.

PairPass is run by Abdul Hannan, who builds and maintains the site and its measurement code. The site's founding rules are printed where they can be checked: every verdict is computed from the WCAG 2.1 formula with the unrounded ratio; the hand-computed test record is published on the methodology page; and no page claims that a palette, a product or a company is certified or compliant with anything — measured evidence is what is offered, stated as such.

There are no accounts, no paid tier and no uploads. Palettes live in the links that carry them. If the site ever stops being useful, the token files it produced remain valid CSS and JSON in your projects, which is how tools should behave.

What PairPass is not

• Not part of the W3C, WebAIM, or any standards or enforcement body — standards are cited, never claimed as affiliation.
• Not a certification service, for WCAG, the European Accessibility Act, the ADA, or anything else.
• Not a colour converter collection: format readouts inside the tools are part of the workflow, not a separate product.
