Is #c32266 suitable for text on a white background?
While #c32266 offers a striking visual, it fails accessibility standards for small body text on white backgrounds. You should reserve this color for large headers, call-to-action buttons, or accent elements where contrast requirements are less strict than for long-form reading.
Is #c32266 readable on white or black?
#c32266 has a 5.61:1 contrast ratio on white and 3.74:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it works for body text and on black it works only for large text (24px, or 18.5px bold). Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
