Caption text, which almost nothing passes.

WCAG 2.1

6.13:1

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 -70.2

Clears Lc 60 — headlines and other larger text.

Light text on a darker ground — the negative sign is the polarity.

Colour difference

protanopia

Body text

Ratio 5.51:1, ΔE00 46.8.

deuteranopia

Body text

Ratio 6.49:1, ΔE00 52.1.

tritanopia

Body text

Ratio 6.42:1, ΔE00 87.9.

The weakest of the three is protanopia, where the two are ΔE00 46.8 apart against 56.0 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
