Clears Lc 75 — body text at a normal size and weight.

Dark text on a lighter ground.

Colour difference

ΔE00 90.0

protanopia

Body text

Ratio 15.96:1, ΔE00 87.1.

deuteranopia

Body text

Ratio 12.46:1, ΔE00 80.5.

tritanopia

Body text

Ratio 9.07:1, ΔE00 72.8.

The weakest of the three is tritanopia, where the two are ΔE00 72.8 apart against 90.0 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
