Is #688905 suitable for UI design text?

#688905 has a 4.06:1 contrast ratio on white and 5.16:1 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.
