Why does #a1f4d7 appear washed out when placed against pure white?
Because #a1f4d7 is a high-value pastel, it lacks the deep saturation needed to hold its own against pure white backgrounds. You should anchor this color with darker, contrasting elements or use it alongside slate to keep the design from feeling too faint.

#a1f4d7 has a 1.27:1 contrast ratio on white and 16.43:1 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.
