Does #829b91 feel warm or cool?
#829b91 reads as a cool-leaning, muted teal because its blue-green hue is softened by gray undertones, giving the color a composed, restorative mood instead of the energetic, vivid impression associated with bright turquoise.
Is #829b91 readable on white or black?
#829b91 has a 2.98:1 contrast ratio on white and 7.04:1 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.
