#C4C8E0 Hex Color

#c4c8e0 pairs well with charcoal text, deep navy, and muted burgundy because its pale, gray-leaning indigo gives darker tones room to add structure, contrast, or restrained warmth without making the palette feel busy.

Yes, #c4c8e0 works well behind black text, which reaches about a 12.7:1 contrast ratio and exceeds the WCAG AA 4.5:1 requirement for normal body text, while white text lacks enough contrast for the same small-size reading.
