Low-contrast font color and unreadable texts? To hell with them!

> This isn't subjective or aesthetics, it's an objective measurement.
I’m going to push back against this slightly (I’m not disagreeing that the HN contrast is bad, but I am challenging the WCAG ratios). It’s objective, but it’s not a good measurement. WCAG computes contrast in sRGB, which is not perceptually uniform. As such there are cases where WCAG will give better scores to worse contrast.

It’s the biggest thing I wish would be changed in WCAG.
APCA (WCGA 3.0) does not allow for 14px font to be used as a regular base
1 project | /r/UXDesign | 5 Feb 2023

The APCA color calculator is still in progress and WCAG 3.0 is still a working draft, so its guidelines are not in place. The purpose of the changes are so that color contrast will focus on perceived color instead of a more simple algorithm that can mess up in some cases: https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/695

This came up in my work recently. Here’s a possibly helpful thread if you’re looking at a mobile app: https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/1510

Just because you find it readable does not mean others can; also, color contrast is not the only thing that affects readability. In this case, the issue is font weight.
Here's some discussion on the issue: https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/665
