How many possible colors can this generate?

There are 16,777,216 possible 6-digit hex colors (256³, from #000000 to #FFFFFF), and each generation picks uniformly at random from all of them.

Can I get a color that's hard to read as text?

Yes, since colors are fully random, some results may have poor contrast against certain backgrounds — pair with a color contrast checker before using it for text.
