Does white text pass WCAG AA on #7f6c94?

Is #7f6c94 a warm or cool purple?
Cool, but barely. Its violet hue leans toward blue, yet heavy gray desaturation flattens any strong temperature, so it reads neutral-cool until you place it next to something warm like ochre or coral.
Is #7f6c94 readable on white or black?
#7f6c94 has a 4.69:1 contrast ratio on white and 4.47:1 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.
