WCAG 2.1
7.06:1
Passes AA for body text

Clears Lc 60 — headlines and other larger text.
Dark text on a lighter ground.
Colour difference
ΔE00 61.6
different colours
Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
Nothing to fix
This pair already clears 4.5:1, so #3e2723 can stay exactly as it is. Check another pair.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 7.42:1, ΔE00 59.5.
deuteranopia
Ratio 6.89:1, ΔE00 57.0.
tritanopia
Ratio 6.56:1, ΔE00 54.0.
The weakest of the three is tritanopia, where the two are ΔE00 54.0 apart against 61.6 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
