Text that stays readable on Faded Parchment

Contrast is measured with the WCAG 2.1 formula, so the pairing a low-vision reader needs is a number here rather than a guess.

Dark ink on the swatch	11.92:1	AAA
White text on the swatch	1.57:1	Below 3:1
The color as text on its lightest tint	1.36:1	Below 3:1
Its deepest shade as text on its lightest tint	6.84:1	AA

Body text needs 4.5:1 (AA) or 7:1 (AAA); text from 24px, or 19px bold, needs 3:1. Every ratio above is computed from the hex values on this page.
