Panorama on Midnight Edition
#327a88 on #0c121b
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
3.82:1
Large text only
Not AAA (7:1). Swapping the two colours gives the same number — the ratio does not know which is the text.
APCA
Lc -27.3
Clears Lc 15 — disabled or purely decorative text, which is not meant to be read.
Light text on a darker ground — the negative sign is the polarity.
Colour difference
ΔE00 35.2
different colours
Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
What the text colour has to become
#3f8694 is the nearest colour of the same hue that passes AA on #0c121b, at 4.50:1. Only the lightness moved — which is the point: your colour stays recognisably your colour.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 4.12:1, ΔE00 33.3.
deuteranopia
Ratio 3.67:1, ΔE00 30.8.
tritanopia
Ratio 3.75:1, ΔE00 34.8.
The weakest of the three is deuteranopia, where the two are ΔE00 30.8 apart against 35.2 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
