What colors pair best with #fcb3ef?
Is #fcb3ef suitable for body text?

#fcb3ef has a 1.63:1 contrast ratio on white and 12.83:1 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.
