contrast-ratios
(L1 + 0.05) / (L2 + 0.05)
Where
L1 is the relative luminance of the lighter of the colors, and
L2 is the relative luminance of the darker of the colors.
Note 1: Contrast ratios can range from 1 to 21 (commonly written 1:1 to 21:1).
success-ratio
Normal text >= 4.5:1 Larger text >= 3:1
a lower ratio is a fail.
relative-luminance
The relative brightness of any point in a colorspace, normalized to 0.0 for darkest black and 1.0 for lightest white
Note 1: For the sRGB colorspace, the relative luminance of a color is defined as
L = 0.2126 * R + 0.7152 * G + 0.0722 * B
Where R, G and B are defined as:
if RsRGB <= 0.03928 then R = RsRGB/12.92 else R = ((RsRGB+0.055)/1.055) ^ 2.4
if GsRGB <= 0.03928 then G = GsRGB/12.92 else G = ((GsRGB+0.055)/1.055) ^ 2.4
if BsRGB <= 0.03928 then B = BsRGB/12.92 else B = ((BsRGB+0.055)/1.055) ^ 2.4
RsRGB, GsRGB, and BsRGB are defined as:
RsRGB = R8bit/255
GsRGB = G8bit/255
BsRGB = B8bit/255
