That color contrast tip from u/MapleToast actually saved my header design
Last week I was stuck on a landing page header for a client in Austin, the text kept disappearing even on dark backgrounds. Someone on here suggested checking contrast with the background image instead of just the base color, so I sampled the busiest part of the photo. Turns out my white text was only hitting a 2.1 ratio in the corner where the sun flare hit. Swapped to a slightly warm off-white with a subtle drop shadow and now it passes at 4.6. Has anyone else found that sampling real images beats just using the solid swatch?

Did you sample the sun flare area specifically or just the whole image?
