Color Contrast Question

for

Folks,



I want to be able to breakdown 4.5:1 and 3:1 into a simple way. Is it
correct to state the following?



4.5:1 means that the foreground color should be 4 and a half times darker or
lighter than the background color to be seen properly by people with low
vision individuals.

3:1 means that the foreground color should be 3 times darker or lighter than
the background color to be seen properly by people with low vision
individuals.

If I am wrong can you correct me please?
