APCA
Lc -60.7
Clears Lc 60 — headlines and other larger text.
Light text on a darker ground — the negative sign is the polarity.

Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
Nothing to fix
This pair already clears 4.5:1, so #77c9c2 can stay exactly as it is. Check another pair.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 7.23:1, ΔE00 58.9.
deuteranopia
Ratio 6.89:1, ΔE00 54.6.
tritanopia
Ratio 6.26:1, ΔE00 50.1.
The weakest of the three is tritanopia, where the two are ΔE00 50.1 apart against 57.2 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
