G18: Ensuring that a contrast ratio of at least 5:1 exists between text (and images of text) and background behind the text | Techniques for WCAG 2.0

For Success Criterion 1.4.3, this technique describes the minimum contrast ratio for text that is less than 18 point (if not bold) and less than 14 point (if bold). For Success Criterion 1.4.5, this technique relaxes the 7:1 contrast ratio requirement for text that is at least 18 point (if not bold) or at least 14 point (if bold).
