Is #76c6a7 suitable for text-heavy interfaces?

Is #76c6a7 readable on white or black?
#76c6a7 has a 2.01:1 contrast ratio on white and 10.40:1 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.
