Is #f69f6a a good choice for text or call-to-action buttons?
While #f69f6a is excellent for button backgrounds, it often lacks sufficient contrast for white text, so using black or very dark gray text is essential for readability. Use this color as a primary accent to draw the eye toward interactive elements rather than large text blocks.
Is #f69f6a readable on white or black?
#f69f6a has a 2.08:1 contrast ratio on white and 10.08:1 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.
