The contrast ratio of text to background color must be 4.5 or more to meet WCAG guidelines. You can check color combinations with these tools http://leaverou.github.io/contrast-ratio/ or https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/

Be extra careful if you are placing text over an image as the same rules apply.
