Is #f2d8d4 a warm or cool color?

Does #f2d8d4 work with black or white text?
Use dark text with #f2d8d4 for stronger readability; black and charcoal provide clear contrast, while white text is too low-contrast for small text and accessibility-focused interface work in most cases. Confirm the exact ratio with a contrast checker when choosing font sizes, weights, and background combinations.
Is #f2d8d4 readable on white or black?
#f2d8d4 has a 1.35:1 contrast ratio on white and 15.54:1 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.
