White text looks like thisBig text only
Headlines and large labels are fine; small text will strain the eye. Contrast 4.1 to 1
Black text looks like thisEasy to read
Fine for body text and headlines. Contrast 4.7 to 1

Black text reads better here. The contrast number compares how light the text is with how light the colour behind it is. It runs from 1, where the text disappears, to 21, black on white. The web accessibility standard asks for at least 4.5 for normal text and 3 for big headlines.
