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
4.79:1
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 -50.9
Clears Lc 45 — large or heavy display text.
Light text on a darker ground — the negative sign is the polarity.
Colour difference
ΔE00 72.5
different colours
Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
Nothing to fix
This pair already clears 4.5:1, so #b8bf71 can stay exactly as it is. Check another pair.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 6.34:1, ΔE00 72.3.
deuteranopia
Ratio 4.24:1, ΔE00 54.2.
tritanopia
Ratio 3.29:1, ΔE00 33.4.
The weakest of the three is tritanopia, where the two are ΔE00 33.4 apart against 72.5 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
