Does #e0dac9 read as warm or cool?

Is #e0dac9 readable on white or black?
#e0dac9 has a 1.39:1 contrast ratio on white and 15.04:1 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.
