Expectation: << Describe what you expect the product to do >>
Use the correct relative luminance threshold: 0.04045
Actual: << Describe what the product actually does >>
The current threshold 0.03928 used in the sRGB definition is outdated.
There is already a bug filed against this issue in the wcag repo: w3c/wcag#360
Motivation: << Describe why you want the behavior to be changed >>
Although there will be no visible difference in calculated contrast ratio from using the draft or the final standard threshold values, please refer to the discussions in the wcag repo for the detailed justification. I'm not an expert in color spaces. Our company Microsoft's accessibility tool is using this library, so just wanted to bring this to your attention.
