// Color contrast
// See https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/30168
//
// These functions implement WCAG 2.2 color contrast requirements.
// Reference: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/contrast-minimum.html
//
// The minimum contrast ratio ($min-contrast-ratio) defaults to 4.5:1, which meets
// WCAG Level AA requirements for normal text. For large text (18pt+ or 14pt+ bold),
// a ratio of 3:1 is acceptable.
//
// WCAG Contrast Levels:
// - Level AA (minimum): 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text
// - Level AAA (enhanced): 7:1 for normal text, 4.5:1 for large text

// A list of pre-calculated numbers of pow(divide((divide($value, 255) + .055), 1.055), 2.4). (from 0 to 255)
