Is #a77e91 suitable for text in website design?

Is #a77e91 readable on white or black?
#a77e91 has a 3.47:1 contrast ratio on white and 6.03:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it works only for large text (24px, or 18.5px bold) and on black it works for body text. Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
