RE: WCAG meeting December 6, 2016

My apologies, but I anticipate being late to join the call.  I have completed the survey.

I will be especially sorry if I miss the discussion on of contrast for images.  Here are a couple data points though:

1)  Mathematically, on a plane you can have as many as four colors touching.  [1]
2)  With our desired 4.5:1 contrast ratio, you can only manage three colors, and your choices are limited to  (1) white-or-almost-white, (2) black-or-almost-black, and (3) a few thousand shades of gray (including greenish gray, reddish grey, bluish grey).

I found an old data dump from October 2008 that lists them all (it is 4.5 mb though).
Darkest RGB value tested:  rgb(96,96,96).
Lightest RGB value tested:  rgb(144,144,144). 
Number of values tested:  117649. 
Number of values found to have a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 or higher against both white and black:  9259.
