Is #a7a3f0 suitable for text on a white background?

Is #a7a3f0 readable on white or black?
#a7a3f0 has a 2.29:1 contrast ratio on white and 9.14:1 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.
