How does #e2a5b5 feel in a brand palette?

Is #e2a5b5 readable on white or black?
#e2a5b5 has a 2.04:1 contrast ratio on white and 10.28:1 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.
