## Verdict

Hard to read. Too little contrast even for large headings. Change one of the colors or use a fix below.

| --- | --- | --- |
| WCAG AA | fail | fail |
| WCAG AAA | fail | fail |

- WCAG 2 ratio: 1.25:1

## Nearest passing colors (lightness changed, hue kept)

- Text for AA: #fff0ee
- Background for AA: #390003
