What text color works best on #6d6a7d?

Is #6d6a7d a warm or cool color?

Is #6d6a7d readable on white or black?
#6d6a7d has a 5.23:1 contrast ratio on white and 4.00:1 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 works only for large text (24px, or 18.5px bold). Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
