Does #2eb8d1 work with black or white text?

Check the exact text size and weight with a contrast tool before publishing.
Is #2eb8d1 readable on white or black?
#2eb8d1 has a 2.36:1 contrast ratio on white and 8.89:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it is too faint for text and on black it works for body text. Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
