Does #63a8d3 work well for text-heavy web design?
It serves best as an accent or background color rather than a primary text color. Because #63a8d3 is relatively light, it lacks the necessary contrast to be used for body text unless it is set against a very dark background color.
Is #63a8d3 readable on white or black?
#63a8d3 has a 2.60:1 contrast ratio on white and 8.07:1 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.
