WCAG 2 vs APCA Comparison Examples
A lot has been made of the idea that WCAG 2 "helps people with Color Vision Deficiency". However this is not demonstratively true as we can see by these simulations. In fact, WCAG 2 creates situations that are harmful especially to protanopia.
APCA clearly provides more accurate and useable guidance, and by a wide margin — and by wide, I mean that WCAG 2 incorrectly passes colors by as much as Lc 30. WCAG 2 incorrectly fails color pairs by as much as Lc 15 or even more.
