I have a link with a font size of 18px getting flagged incorrectly for not having high enough contrast ratio with its background. The problem is the calculated font size which axe is seeing at 13.5pt. As you can see here http://leaverou.github.io/contrast-ratio/#rgb%2839%2C%20124%2C%20173%29%20-on-rgb%28245%2C245%2C245%29 at 18px this shouldn't get flagged as a WCAG AA validation.
