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.

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

Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
What the text colour has to become
#1e6977 is the nearest colour of the same hue that passes AA on #fcccf5, 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 3.09:1, ΔE00 28.7.
deuteranopia
Ratio 3.80:1, ΔE00 33.8.
tritanopia
Ratio 3.72:1, ΔE00 79.1.
The weakest of the three is protanopia, where the two are ΔE00 28.7 apart against 49.2 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
