Its contrast ratio with pure white is approximately 2.4:1, which falls short of the WCAG's minimum requirement of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. This means that using #B48FD7 for text on a white background may be difficult for users with visual impairments to read comfortably. To improve accessibility, consider using a darker color for text, such as #333333, or a lighter background color to increase the contrast ratio.
