What colors pair well with #dedbda?

Is #dedbda readable on white or black?
#dedbda has a 1.37:1 contrast ratio on white and 15.25:1 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.
