For the RGB wizards… what is the algorithm to determine the luminance ratio 
between two colors?

See w3C recommendations posted in today's Adobe's XD newsletter (useful feed) 
below.

I'm thinking the total value of all three will serve.


The WC3 sets minimum standards for contrast ratios, which represent how 
different a color is from another color (commonly written as 1:1 or 21:1, the 
higher the difference between the two numbers in the ratio, the greater the 
difference in relative luminance between the colors). The W3C recommends the 
following contrast ratios for body text and image text:

  *   Small text should have a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against its 
background. A ratio of 7:1 is preferred.
  *   Large text (at 14 pt bold/18 pt regular and up) should have a contrast 
ratio of at least 3:1 against its background.
