What text color works best on #aed0c5?
Black text. At about 12.6:1 contrast, #aed0c5 easily clears WCAG AA for small body text, so dark grays and near-black type read cleanly on it. White text falls well short, so save it for large display type only.
What colors pair well with #aed0c5?

#aed0c5 has a 1.66:1 contrast ratio on white and 12.62:1 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.
