Dear MC Black,
Yes, WCAG addresses people with different color perception.
Here is where you can find information that might help you understand the WCAG requirements related to contrast and text size:
* "Easy Checks - A First Review of Web Accessibility" describes some accessibility issues and how to check websites for them.
-- Contrast ratio ("color contrast"): https://www.w3.org/WAI/test-evaluate/preliminary/#contrast
-- Resize text: https://www.w3.org/WAI/test-evaluate/preliminary/#resize
Here is information on how you might increase text size and color contrast to improve readability. (It is a bit outdated, but hopefully enough for you to figure out with your current browser and operation system).
* Better Web Browsing: Tips for Customizing Your Computer
-- Changing Colors and Fonts: https://www.w3.org/WAI/users/browsing#schemes
-- Enlarging Text and Images: https://www.w3.org/WAI/users/browsing#text
If you have more questions, you can submit them to the WAI Interest Group mailing list.
You can search the public mailing list archives, to get a feel for the list, through:

You can join the mailing list and post questions by following the instructions under:
