Porcini on Shadow Play
#d9ae86 on #2d1403
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
8.53:1
Passes AA for body text
AAA too. Swapping the two colours gives the same number — the ratio does not know which is the text.
APCA
Lc -61.4
Clears Lc 60 — headlines and other larger text.
Light text on a darker ground — the negative sign is the polarity.
Colour difference
ΔE00 59.0
different colours
Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.
Nothing to fix
This pair already clears 4.5:1, so #d9ae86 can stay exactly as it is. Check another pair.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 8.34:1, ΔE00 57.2.
deuteranopia
Ratio 8.63:1, ΔE00 59.7.
tritanopia
Ratio 8.68:1, ΔE00 64.0.
The weakest of the three is protanopia, where the two are ΔE00 57.2 apart against 59.0 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
