Beyond basic extraction, BrandSpy now features an advanced mathematical heuristic engine:
- • APCA Contrast: Checks colors against the new WCAG 3.0 advanced perceptual contrast algorithm.
- • Color Blindness Simulation: Verifies palettes against Protanopia and Deuteranopia matrices.
- • Typography Scales: Mathematically detects geometric growth ratios (e.g., Major Third, Golden Ratio).
- • Grid Compliance: Calculates the percentage of margins/paddings that obey strict 8-point grid rules.
