Is #300d15 a good background color for dark mode UI?
Yes. It behaves like a warm near-black, so it works as a full background without the harshness of pure black. With white text at roughly 17.6:1 contrast, it clears WCAG AA easily, though small gray body text should stay light enough to keep a 4.5:1 ratio.
Is #300d15 readable on white or black?
#300d15 has a 17.58:1 contrast ratio on white and 1.19:1 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.
