Is #cf9af9 suitable for text on websites?

Is #cf9af9 readable on white or black?
#cf9af9 has a 2.17:1 contrast ratio on white and 9.64:1 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.
