Can I use #7e9c55 for body text?

Is #7e9c55 readable on white or black?
#7e9c55 has a 3.10:1 contrast ratio on white and 6.77:1 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.
