Is #e09f3e suitable for body text or large blocks?
It is best used as an accent color rather than for body text or large background blocks. While #e09f3e is legible for call-to-action buttons or headers against white, it lacks the sufficient contrast ratios typically required for accessible, small-sized body paragraph text.
Is #e09f3e readable on white or black?
#e09f3e has a 2.28:1 contrast ratio on white and 9.19:1 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.
