What text color works best on #070000?
White text is the clearest choice, with about 20.8:1 contrast against #070000, well above the WCAG AA requirement of 4.5:1. Muted grays can work for secondary text, but always verify they still clear the 4.5:1 threshold.

It reads slightly warm because of a faint red undertone in the red channel. That warmth pairs well with burgundy, brass, and warm wood tones rather than icy grays.
Is #070000 readable on white or black?
#070000 has a 20.81:1 contrast ratio on white and 1.00:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it works for body text and on black it is too faint for text. Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
