Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
What the text colour has to become
#782c4b is the nearest colour of the same hue that passes AA on #e7a2ae, 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 4.70:1, ΔE00 44.4.
deuteranopia
Ratio 4.24:1, ΔE00 40.6.
tritanopia
Ratio 3.85:1, ΔE00 37.2.
The weakest of the three is tritanopia, where the two are ΔE00 37.2 apart against 42.1 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
