WCAG 2.1

Clears Lc 45 — large or heavy display text.
Light text on a darker ground — the negative sign is the polarity.
Colour difference

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

And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 7.61:1, ΔE00 57.9.
deuteranopia
Ratio 7.24:1, ΔE00 57.5.
tritanopia
Ratio 7.31:1, ΔE00 64.5.
The weakest of the three is deuteranopia, where the two are ΔE00 57.5 apart against 58.3 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
