Is #e2c8cc suitable for text on a white background?
No, #e2c8cc is far too light and lacks sufficient contrast against pure white to meet standard accessibility guidelines. It functions much better as a subtle background color or an accent element where black or very dark text is placed on top of it.
Is #e2c8cc readable on white or black?
#e2c8cc has a 1.57:1 contrast ratio on white and 13.36:1 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.
