Is #83ef8b suitable for text on a white background?

Is #83ef8b readable on white or black?
#83ef8b has a 1.43:1 contrast ratio on white and 14.68:1 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.
