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
4.63:1
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 -49.1
Clears Lc 45 — large or heavy display text.
Light text on a darker ground — the negative sign is the polarity.
Colour difference
ΔE00 47.3
different colours
Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
Nothing to fix
This pair already clears 4.5:1, so #c0b0d0 can stay exactly as it is. Check another pair.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 5.95:1, ΔE00 51.4.
deuteranopia
Ratio 4.15:1, ΔE00 39.9.
tritanopia
Ratio 3.20:1, ΔE00 34.4.
The weakest of the three is tritanopia, where the two are ΔE00 34.4 apart against 47.3 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
