Why does #ad92e7 look washed out against white backgrounds?
Because #ad92e7 is a desaturated, high-luminosity violet, it lacks the heavy pigment density needed to create high contrast against pure white. This lack of separation can make designs feel hazy, so it is safer to pair it with darker, high-contrast surfaces.
Is #ad92e7 readable on white or black?
#ad92e7 has a 2.61:1 contrast ratio on white and 8.04:1 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.
