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

1.47:1

Fails AA

Not AAA (7:1). Swapping the two colours gives the same number — the ratio does not know which is the text.

APCA

Lc 11.3

Below Lc 15: the draft treats this as not text.

Dark text on a lighter ground.

Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.

What the text colour has to become

#002b33 is the nearest colour of the same hue that passes AA on #ce6ba6, at 4.50:1. Only the lightness moved, and some chroma was given up to stay inside sRGB — which is the point: your colour stays recognisably your colour.

And to someone missing a cone

protanopia

Body text

Ratio 1.14:1, ΔE00 8.2.

deuteranopia

Body text

Ratio 1.67:1, ΔE00 15.0.

tritanopia

Body text

Ratio 1.92:1, ΔE00 70.0.

The weakest of the three is protanopia, where the two are ΔE00 8.2 apart against 44.3 for a trichromat — still two colours, but a closer call than it looks to you.
