What the numbers mean
Terminal text is small, often dim, and read for hours, so every color is held to the 4.5:1 body-text bar. A failing color is not unusable; it is a color that some people cannot read without leaning in. Theme authors usually fix a failing dim color by moving it a little toward the foreground, as the gallery entry shows, and the field note explains why light and dark variants fail in different places.
