Can I use #587f76 as a primary text color?

Is #587f76 readable on white or black?
#587f76 has a 4.45:1 contrast ratio on white and 4.71:1 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.
