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

What the text colour has to become
#6f6462 is the nearest colour of the same hue that passes AA on #00ffee, 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 4.67:1, ΔE00 38.2.
deuteranopia
Ratio 3.74:1, ΔE00 35.6.
tritanopia
Ratio 2.89:1, ΔE00 51.5.
The weakest of the three is deuteranopia, where the two are ΔE00 35.6 apart against 47.6 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
