Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Low-contrast text appears on 83.9% of the top million home pages, making it the web's most common accessibility failure. Clearleft's tool “This hue shall pass” maps every pairing in a palette against WCAG AA or AAA and fixes failures by nudging lightness. Hue stays fixed, so brand colors keep their character while passing contrast.
