Does #202b0c work well for small text interfaces?
Generally, #202b0c performs poorly as a text color because its low luminosity and ashy undertones cause thin lines to blur and lose legibility. It is much better suited as a dark background color that allows white or light-toned typography to pop clearly.
Is #202b0c readable on white or black?
#202b0c has a 14.86:1 contrast ratio on white and 1.41:1 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.
