Black text. #48a92b reaches about a 7:1 contrast ratio with black, which clears the WCAG AA threshold of 4.5:1 for small body text. White text drops far below that and should be avoided.
Is #48a92b a warm or cool green?

Is #48a92b readable on white or black?
#48a92b has a 3.00:1 contrast ratio on white and 6.98:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it works only for large text (24px, or 18.5px bold) and on black it works for body text. Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
