Does #de9f68 work well with white text?
Avoid placing #de9f68 directly behind white text because the color's lightness level often causes the text to wash out and become difficult to read. If you must use a light color, consider a much darker slate or even black to ensure your design remains accessible.

#de9f68 has a 2.26:1 contrast ratio on white and 9.26:1 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.
