#dde88d supports strong readability with black or very dark text, but white text has low contrast against its pale, bright surface and should not be the default for body copy or small labels.
Is #dde88d readable on white or black?
#dde88d has a 1.31:1 contrast ratio on white and 16.00:1 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.
