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
4.74:1
Passes AA for body text
Not AAA (7:1). Swapping the two colours gives the same number — the ratio does not know which is the text.
APCA
Lc 62.3
Clears Lc 60 — headlines and other larger text.
Dark text on a lighter ground.
Colour difference

different colours
Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
Nothing to fix
This pair already clears 4.5:1, so #8800ff can stay exactly as it is. Check another pair.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 6.32:1, ΔE00 60.8.
deuteranopia
Ratio 4.08:1, ΔE00 43.7.
tritanopia
Ratio 3.27:1, ΔE00 31.4.
The weakest of the three is tritanopia, where the two are ΔE00 31.4 apart against 62.3 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
