Caption text, which almost nothing passes.
WCAG 2.1
12.77:1
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 84.2
Clears Lc 75 — body text at a normal size and weight.
Dark text on a lighter ground.
Colour difference
ΔE00 78.6
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 12.79:1, ΔE00 77.8.
deuteranopia
Ratio 12.76:1, ΔE00 78.5.
tritanopia
Ratio 12.17:1, ΔE00 78.9.
The weakest of the three is protanopia, where the two are ΔE00 77.8 apart against 78.6 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
