APCA
Lc -42.9
Clears Lc 30 — the floor: below this the draft considers text not readable at any size.
Light text on a darker ground — the negative sign is the polarity.

ΔE00 65.7
different colours
Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
Nothing to fix

And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 6.07:1, ΔE00 67.4.
deuteranopia
Ratio 6.37:1, ΔE00 69.2.
tritanopia
Ratio 6.60:1, ΔE00 76.1.
The weakest of the three is protanopia, where the two are ΔE00 67.4 apart against 65.7 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
