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
5.61:1
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 -64.1
Clears Lc 60 — headlines and other larger text.
Light text on a darker ground — the negative sign is the polarity.
Colour difference
ΔE00 56.8
different colours
Above 10 — related only in the sense that both are colours.

This pair already clears 4.5:1, so #dfc5fe can stay exactly as it is. Check another pair.
And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 5.85:1, ΔE00 60.7.
deuteranopia
Ratio 5.50:1, ΔE00 59.1.
tritanopia
Ratio 4.95:1, ΔE00 43.9.
The weakest of the three is tritanopia, where the two are ΔE00 43.9 apart against 56.8 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
