Body text at this size
And the smaller size most interfaces actually use for paragraphs — the size that decides whether a pair is usable.
Caption text, which almost nothing passes.
WCAG 2.1
1.57:1
Fails AA
Not AAA (7:1). Swapping the two colours gives the same number — the ratio does not know which is the text.
APCA
Lc -26.3
Clears Lc 15 — disabled or purely decorative text, which is not meant to be read.
Light text on a darker ground — the negative sign is the polarity.
Colour difference
ΔE00 26.6
different colours
Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
What the text colour has to become
#00534d is the nearest colour of the same hue that passes AA on #95bce1, at 4.50:1. Only the lightness moved, and some chroma was given up to stay inside sRGB — which is the point: your colour stays recognisably your colour.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 1.70:1, ΔE00 22.0.
deuteranopia
Ratio 1.49:1, ΔE00 12.5.
tritanopia
Ratio 1.19:1, ΔE00 5.5.
The weakest of the three is tritanopia, where the two are ΔE00 5.5 apart against 26.6 for a trichromat — still two colours, but a closer call than it looks to you.
