I wasn't sure what "only AA accessible" referred to, but apparently it's a rating[0] to mean at least a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 (a "AAA" rating requires a 7:1 contrast ratio).

This site[1] lets you check the rating for any color combination, if you're curious.

Recent version of Firefox have the ability to check ratios built right in. I use the tool daily.
