Can black text be used on #3ce0e3?
#3ce0e3 supports black body text at about a 13.0:1 contrast ratio, comfortably above the WCAG AA threshold of 4.5:1 for normal text and suitable for readable interface copy on solid backgrounds. Test thin or decorative lettering separately, since contrast ratios do not guarantee legibility at every size.
Is #3ce0e3 readable on white or black?
#3ce0e3 has a 1.61:1 contrast ratio on white and 12.96:1 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.
