This pair already clears 4.5:1, so #160435 can stay exactly as it is. Check another pair.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 17.18:1, ΔE00 94.3.
deuteranopia
Ratio 13.86:1, ΔE00 80.9.
tritanopia
Ratio 10.71:1, ΔE00 66.9.
The weakest of the three is tritanopia, where the two are ΔE00 66.9 apart against 92.8 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
