Hello,
So we are working on a new set of colors for our website and I am testing color combos for contrast. Our h1 headings are set in a background color that runs across the entire page. The new color we'd like to use is #00c18B with white text. This only has a contrast ratio of 2.33:1. However the font is set at 3em which is about 36px on my monitor. Is there any leeway for XL type?

Thank you,
