Is #f5cba7 suitable for text on a white background?
Using #f5cba7 for text against a white background will fail accessibility standards due to poor contrast. This soft, muted peach lacks the darkness required for readability, so it should be reserved for background surfaces or large, non-text graphic elements instead.

#f5cba7 has a 1.50:1 contrast ratio on white and 13.98:1 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.
