Is #d0aeb4 suitable for web design text?
While #d0aeb4 makes an excellent background for text, it is generally too light to serve as primary body text itself. For the best accessibility and readability results, always layer high-contrast dark colors like black or near-black on top of this shade.
Is #d0aeb4 readable on white or black?
#d0aeb4 has a 2.02:1 contrast ratio on white and 10.39:1 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.
