Is #699992 suitable for small text on a white background?
While #699992 is a beautiful mid-tone, it often falls short of strict accessibility standards for large blocks of small body text. Use it primarily for UI elements, large headers, or brand graphics rather than thin, small-scale typography to ensure legibility remains high for all users.
Is #699992 readable on white or black?
#699992 has a 3.19:1 contrast ratio on white and 6.57:1 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.
