Insufficient contrast ratio for small text in an image of text

Test Case Summary

Test Case ID

TC8.1-2-fail-4

Test Case Description

Detect the foreground and background text and size contrast ratio. Determine whether contrast ratio is sufficient. The text in the code sample does not provide sufficient contrast between the foreground and background.

Test Case Instruction

Test Instruction	Instruction Detail	Expected Test Case Result
IC-1	All visible text AND images of text (except those noted in Limitations, Assumptions, or Exceptions above)	The sample code contains an image of meaningful text.
8.1-1	Determine the contrast ratio of foreground and background in the image of text.	The contrast ratio for a portion of the text in the image is 2.8:1.
8.1-2	Check that the contrast ratio is at least 4.5:1. (SC 3.1.4)	Fail - The contrast ratio is less than 4.5:1 (it is 2.8:1)
Results	Both of the above checks fail, then Baseline Test 8.1-Contrast Minimum.	Fail - one of the checks fails for minimum contrast ratio for an image in
