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.

"Advancing employment opportunities and expectations for people with disabilities strengthens not only America's economy, but our moral fiber. It creates a more inclusive America, one where every person is recognized for his or her accomplishments — and that should be our goal not just on Labor Day but every day."

Assistant Secretary Kathy Martinez, Office of Disability Employment Policy, September 7, 2009
