Is #f7e8c2 suitable for text backgrounds?
#f7e8c2 works best as a light background rather than a text color, because its high brightness provides little contrast with white or pale lettering. Black, charcoal, and deep brown text create strong readability, but verify exact pairings with a contrast checker.
Is #f7e8c2 readable on white or black?
#f7e8c2 has a 1.21:1 contrast ratio on white and 17.27:1 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.
