Does #b0e9f4 work with black text?
#b0e9f4 supports black text with about a 15.8:1 contrast ratio, exceeding the WCAG AA requirement of 4.5:1 for body text in standard digital layouts when the text stays black or similarly dark. White text has much less contrast, so reserve it for large display type after checking the final size.
Is #b0e9f4 readable on white or black?
#b0e9f4 has a 1.32:1 contrast ratio on white and 15.80:1 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.
