Contrast and accessibility

WCAG 2 ratios are what audits and legislation reference. APCA is shown alongside because WCAG 2 is known to misjudge mid-tone backgrounds, and it is the basis of the WCAG 3 draft.

Pairing	WCAG 2 ratio	Level	APCA	Suitable for
Linen on white	1.12:1	Fail	Lc 0	Not usable for text
Linen on black	18.67:1	AAA	Lc 99	Body text at any size
