Is #f7af79 suitable for text on a white background?
No, #f7af79 is too light to be used as a primary text color against white or very pale backgrounds because it fails WCAG accessibility contrast standards. Use it instead as a background color for dark, high-contrast typography like deep grays or blacks.
Is #f7af79 readable on white or black?
#f7af79 has a 1.84:1 contrast ratio on white and 11.36:1 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.
