APCA
Lc -87.4
Clears Lc 75 — body text at a normal size and weight.
Light text on a darker ground — the negative sign is the polarity.
Colour difference

And to someone missing a cone
protanopia
Ratio 15.71:1, ΔE00 86.1.
deuteranopia
Ratio 14.57:1, ΔE00 82.8.
tritanopia
Ratio 14.08:1, ΔE00 84.2.
The weakest of the three is deuteranopia, where the two are ΔE00 82.8 apart against 88.3 for a trichromat — still clearly two colours.
