This resource clearly states 3 best practices and provides examples of good contrast pairings. Links at the bottom provide further resources and testing tools.
My only complaint is that the examples given only address one of the best practices (color ratio) and do not provide resources for the other two (indicator and color blindness).

Resource provides good information and ample examples on good color contrast between background and text. However, just for completeness I would include example of bad contrast as well as examples of good and bad color ratio and indicator.

When I went off to college I ran into a guy at the University of Oregon named Ralph Salisbury who was my first creative writing instructor and he turned all the lights on for me. He was the first teacher in all my years who actually said I had talent. Some people don't know this, but I have dyslexia."
