#FCD4DC Hex Color

Deep plum, slate blue, and charcoal all give #fcd4dc the contrast it lacks on its own. Because it is so unsaturated, bold dark partners work better than pale ones.

Yes for dark text. Black on #fcd4dc reaches about 15.6:1 contrast, well above the 4.5:1 WCAG AA requirement for body copy. White text falls far short, so keep type dark.
