# Gradient Contrast Detection Fix
# Contrast Detection Fixes
## Problem
## Problems
The contrast checking tool was reporting false positives for text on gradient backgrounds. Two specific issues were identified:
The contrast checking tool had three issues that caused false positives and incorrect reporting:
### Issue 1: White-on-White False Positives
**Example:** Vision Leadership sponsor page (https://visionleadership.org/sponsor-opportunities/)

- **Reality:** Those elements were on light gray `rgb(252, 252, 252)` background
- **Root Cause:** Gradient detection walked up the tree but didn't stop when it encountered solid backgrounds
## Solution
### Issue 3: Wrong Text Color for Elements with Child Spans
The tool used parent element colors instead of actual visible text colors:
- **Example:** `<a>` element with `color: blue` containing `<span>` with `color: rgb(12, 90, 201)`
- **Reported:** Used the `<a>`'s color
- **Reality:** The visible text uses the `<span>`'s color
- **Root Cause:** Tool only checked the matched element's color, not child elements that contain the actual text
Modified the gradient detection logic in `daemon/daemon.go` to:
## Solutions
Modified the contrast detection logic in `daemon/daemon.go` to:
1. **Walk up the DOM tree** to find gradient backgrounds on parent elements
2. **Stop at solid backgrounds** - if a solid background color is found before a gradient, use the solid color
3. **Only apply gradients** when no solid background exists between the element and the gradient
4. **Check child elements for text color** - if an element has visible child elements with text, use the first child's color instead of the parent's color

3. Restart the cremote daemon (deployment-specific process)
4. Restart the MCP server or Augment extension to pick up changes
#### 3. Enhanced Text Color Detection (Lines 9257-9322)
**Before:** Always used the matched element's text color
**After:**
- Checks if the element has visible child elements with text
- If child elements exist, uses the first child's color
- This ensures we get the actual visible text color, not the parent container's color
```javascript
// Get the actual text-bearing element for accurate color detection
let textElement = element;
let textStyle = style;
// Check if element has child elements (not just text nodes)
const childElements = Array.from(element.children).filter(child => {
const childText = child.textContent.trim();
if (!childText) return false;
const childStyle = window.getComputedStyle(child);
return childStyle.display !== 'none' && childStyle.visibility !== 'hidden';
});
// If there are visible child elements with text, use the first one's color
if (childElements.length > 0) {
textElement = childElements[0];
textStyle = window.getComputedStyle(textElement);
}
const fgColor = textStyle.color;
```
