Is #dcd4f1 suitable for text and backgrounds?
Use #dcd4f1 mainly as a light background, not for body text on white or as a light text color, because its pale value creates little separation from similarly light surfaces. Dark charcoal or navy text provides much stronger contrast, but verify each pairing with a contrast checker before publishing.
Is #dcd4f1 readable on white or black?
#dcd4f1 has a 1.42:1 contrast ratio on white and 14.73:1 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.
