What text color works best on #a5bea0?
#a5bea0 provides strong contrast with black text but insufficient contrast with white text for normal-sized body copy; its approximate ratios are 10.7:1 against black and 2.9:1 against white, so choose dark text for accessible layouts.
Is #a5bea0 readable on white or black?
#a5bea0 has a 2.00:1 contrast ratio on white and 10.47:1 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.
