Now I understand better. I propose the following wording:
4.1 Ensure that all information conveyed with color
is also available without color,
for example from context or markup. [Priority 1]
When text has a purely decorative value
and conveys no information other than the color
itself, it is not necessary to provide that
information elsewhere.
