"Where work happens"
Slack is a business messaging platform that organizes team communication into channels, used by millions of organizations worldwide.
The official Slack palette comprises five colors: Slack Aubergine (#4A154B), Slack Green (#2EB67D), Slack Red (#E01E5A), Slack Blue (#36C5F0), and Slack Yellow (#ECB22E). Measured against white, two of them satisfy the 4.5:1 contrast ratio WCAG AA requires of normal-size body text; the other three fall below it, Slack Yellow lowest at 1.91:1.

Accessibility of the Slack palette
Of the 5 recorded colors, 2 reach the WCAG 2.1 AA ratio of 4.5:1 against a white background — the threshold normal-size body text must meet. Colors below that line are not failures of the palette: they remain valid as fills carrying white text, as large text at the 3:1 threshold, and as borders, icons, and other non-text elements, which SC 1.4.11 also holds to 3:1. A logotype set in such a color is exempt from the requirement entirely.
