Is #4d321f suitable for large areas of background text?
Using #4d321f as a primary background color works well for dark mode interfaces, provided the foreground text uses a high-contrast, light-toned shade. Due to its darkness, avoid using black or dark charcoal text on top, as it will lack sufficient readability.
Is #4d321f readable on white or black?
#4d321f has a 11.72:1 contrast ratio on white and 1.79:1 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.
