Everyone should use color combinations that satisfy WCAG 2.x's contrast algorithms, there are probably legal standards that apply to your business that expect it. If APCA's advice is more conservative for some combinations, fine.
APCA might be better overall, it's not definitive. WCAG 3 is many years away and there's no telling when, or if, laws will be changed to adopt it; WCAG 3 isn't even expected to immediately supplant WCAG 2.x, they're expected to exist in parallel.
- edwintorok 4y agoWould BPCA[0] be a good compromise? If you pick color combinations that pass both the APCA defined level and the WCAG2 level then it should be "compliant on paper" with WCAG2, and actually readable in practice thanks to also being compliant with the new APCA levels.

- extra88 4y agoMy point is to not replace what is the established standard with something else, even if there’s reason to think that something else is superior. There’s nothing wrong with supplementing it with something else, going beyond meeting WCAG based on other data.
