Caption text, which almost nothing passes.
WCAG 2.1
6.58:1
Passes AA for body text
Not AAA (7:1). Swapping the two colours gives the same number — the ratio does not know which is the text.

Clears Lc 45 — large or heavy display text.
Dark text on a lighter ground.
Colour difference

different colours
Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
Nothing to fix
This pair already clears 4.5:1, so #322c2b can stay exactly as it is. Check another pair.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 5.67:1, ΔE00 48.6.
deuteranopia
Ratio 7.06:1, ΔE00 59.2.
tritanopia
Ratio 8.57:1, ΔE00 66.3.
The weakest of the three is protanopia, where the two are ΔE00 48.6 apart against 57.5 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
