APCA
Lc 74.1
Clears Lc 60 — headlines and other larger text.
Dark text on a lighter ground.
Colour difference
ΔE00 55.1
different colours
Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
Nothing to fix
This pair already clears 4.5:1, so #494e4f can stay exactly as it is. Check another pair.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 7.46:1, ΔE00 52.0.
deuteranopia
Ratio 6.22:1, ΔE00 49.0.
tritanopia
Ratio 4.78:1, ΔE00 44.6.
The weakest of the three is tritanopia, where the two are ΔE00 44.6 apart against 55.1 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
