Anthony, I respectfully disagree with you.

Checkpoint 2.2 - Ensure that foreground and background color combinations
provide sufficient contrast when viewed by someone having color deficits
or when viewed on a black and white screen
Technique 2.2.1 [priority 3] Test the color attributes of the following
elements for visibility:

Two colors provide good color visibility if the brightness difference and
the color difference between the two colors are greater than a set range.

Color brightness is determined by the following formula:
((Red value X 299) + (Green value X 587) + (Blue value X 114)) / 1000
Note: This algorithm is taken from a formula for converting RGB values to
YIQ values. This brightness value gives a perceived brightness for a
color.

Color difference is determined by the following formula:
(maximum (Red value 1, Red value 2) - minimum (Red value 1, Red value 2))
+ (maximum (Green value 1, Green value 2) - minimum (Green value 1, Green
value 2)) + (maximum (Blue value 1, Blue value 2) - minimum (Blue value 1,
Blue value 2))

**
The rage (sic) for color brightness difference is 125. The range for color
difference is 500.

And there are other color contrast analyzer algorithms which are
furthermore accessible. I read - but can not remember where - that Xerox
had color constrast algorithms furthermore accessibility-friendly.

Can Color-Blind Users See Your Site?

As far as big enough font-size, humans have a 2000 years experience of
usability and printed material.

For color constrast, humans have a 50,000 - 100,000 years experience in
usability. The first drawings of deers, horses and other animals in caves
by Cro-Magnons were meeting, were most likely passing those color contrast
algorithms!
