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
4.28:1
Large text only
Not AAA (7:1). Swapping the two colours gives the same number — the ratio does not know which is the text.

Clears Lc 60 — headlines and other larger text.

Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
What the text colour has to become
#ae4245 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 6.17:1, ΔE00 46.5.
deuteranopia
Ratio 3.58:1, ΔE00 43.0.
tritanopia
Ratio 2.10:1, ΔE00 55.3.
The weakest of the three is deuteranopia, where the two are ΔE00 43.0 apart against 72.1 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
