Is #e8af6e suitable for text usage?
Because #e8af6e is a lighter, pastel-leaning shade, it lacks the necessary contrast for small body text on white backgrounds. Use it primarily as an accent for UI elements, buttons, or graphic flourishes where readability requirements are less strict than standard typography.
Is #e8af6e readable on white or black?
#e8af6e has a 1.94:1 contrast ratio on white and 10.78:1 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.
