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
11.18:1
Passes AA for body text
AAA too. Swapping the two colours gives the same number — the ratio does not know which is the text.
APCA
Lc 76.5
Clears Lc 75 — body text at a normal size and weight.
Dark text on a lighter ground.
Colour difference
ΔE00 75.2
different colours
Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
Nothing to fix
This pair already clears 4.5:1, so #2d1403 can stay exactly as it is. Check another pair.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 11.24:1, ΔE00 76.0.
deuteranopia
Ratio 11.14:1, ΔE00 77.9.
tritanopia
Ratio 10.46:1, ΔE00 70.2.
The weakest of the three is tritanopia, where the two are ΔE00 70.2 apart against 75.2 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
