It is best to choose background colors that offer sufficient contrast in relation to text and [[Help:Link color|blue links]], which is also the color of references, both of which are very common in most articles. Use the [https://webaim.org/resources/linkcontrastchecker/?fcolor=202122&bcolor=FFFFFF&lcolor=3366CC WCAG link contrast checker] to ensure that the chosen background color offers the recommended WCAG AA level of contrast against normal text ({{Legend inline|#202122|{{mono|#202122}}}}) and blue links ({{Legend inline|#3366CC|{{mono|#3366CC}}}} for the default [[Wikipedia:Vector 2022|Vector 2022]] skin).<ref>{{cite web |title=WCAG 2.0 and Link Colors |url=https://webaim.org/blog/wcag-2-0-and-link-colors/ |website=WebAIM Blog |publisher=WebAIM |date=22 July 2009}}</ref>
