Is #929bdc suitable for large blocks of website text?
While #929bdc provides an elegant background, it should not be used as a text color because it lacks the necessary contrast against white surfaces. Use it for expansive container backgrounds or large UI elements, and ensure any text placed atop it is dark enough to meet accessibility standards.
Is #929bdc readable on white or black?
#929bdc has a 2.64:1 contrast ratio on white and 7.94:1 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.
