What text color should you use on #ebfb2d?

What colors pair well with #ebfb2d?
Deep, dark tones work best because they absorb its intensity. Try it with charcoal or navy for grounded contrast, or purple for a sharp complementary split. Keep it to a small accent so it reads as a highlight instead of a glare.
Is #ebfb2d readable on white or black?
#ebfb2d has a 1.14:1 contrast ratio on white and 18.36:1 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.
