Is #ed9cc9 a good choice for body text on a website?
Yes, #ed9cc9 is surprisingly effective for UI copy because it maintains enough visual weight to remain readable against white backgrounds. Unlike many lighter pastels, this specific shade has enough pigment to avoid the common issues of low contrast and poor legibility for screen readers.
Is #ed9cc9 readable on white or black?
#ed9cc9 has a 2.05:1 contrast ratio on white and 10.19:1 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.
