Queens of the Dead on Secret Passage

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
1.51:1
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 -7.5
Below Lc 15: the draft treats this as not text.
Light text on a darker ground — the negative sign is the polarity.
Colour difference
ΔE00 45.9
different colours
Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
What the text colour has to become
#b277e8 is the nearest colour of the same hue that passes AA on #372a05, 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 1.39:1, ΔE00 47.6.
deuteranopia
Ratio 1.58:1, ΔE00 46.5.
tritanopia
Ratio 1.52:1, ΔE00 10.2.
The weakest of the three is tritanopia, where the two are ΔE00 10.2 apart against 45.9 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
