I washed out the Microstars and then used lens tissue with the ROR instead, hoping to eradicate my little problem, and guess what; the residue remained. However, a bit of ethanol diluted with water took the mysterious residue right off.

Photos should be well-lit.
If the image is overexposed, the colors look washed out and if it's underexposed, they look muddy. Check the histogram at the time of capture to verify the pixels don't bunch up at either end it.
Absorbent papers let liquid inks soak into the paper taking the color along with them leaving images that look faint and washed out. You'll get richer colors using coated papers that are less absorbent and designed specifically for photographs.
say a Mac and then find out that when viewed on a "PC" the data looks very different, dull or washed out. Black backgrounds (my site) also can look great on a Mac but maybe not so good on a "wintel" machine.
In order for back lighting to work, you have to 'expose for the highlights' meaning the exposure will be correct for the brighter part of the photos so that they are not washed out. This can result in rather dark shadow areas.
Anything over +2 and you get washed out images and anything under -2 produces total black out. Print films can handle more range. Actually 1 or two stops may not make that much difference with print films.
Overexposing somehow reduces some detail in photos and by slightly overexposing your subject the blemishes might get washed out.
Let too much light into the camera and your pictures will look washed out, lacking detail in highlight (bright) areas. If too little light gets into the camera, pictures will look murky and dark.

This ensured that the sky is dark enough so that the photograph will not be completely washed out and ruined by bright urban light pollution.
Surely you've seen the results: washed out pictures & overexposed flat compositions. Now don't get me wrong, the flash photography in itself is not the problem, it can be a very useful tool.
However, increasing the brightness can cause the picture to look washed out. This is where Contrast comes in. Contrast is the range of dark and light in the picture--the spectrum between the darkest and the brightest regions of the picture.
Detail normally lost in shadows or washed out in overexposed areas are captured and revealed, better matching what we see with our own eyes. Well, that's the theory at least.
To make matters worse, the lit portions of the face tend to be washed out. Add to the mix a hat that creates its own havoc-filled shadows, and the photographic nightmare begins.

As you can see a high contrast is in fact often more important than high resoltion because "washed out" colors are usually much less acceptable.
Well balanced, not washed out or over powerful.
I feel Fuji could have made much more of that pop-up flash, as it is it's not that much better than an average built-in flash and the drop-off wide-angle shot is particularly disappointing.

When using flash in dim light (when the flash will be the main source of illumination) it is very hard for me to avoid washed out, ...
Faces of the persons in the foreground are usually washed out, while people in the background are not lit enough. Your photos will become better if you use the flash indirectly. Point the flash, when possible, on a bright surface like the ceiling.

A higher ISO would just run the risk of overexposed washed out colors. We also suggest, because of the brightness of the fireworks vs. the dark night sky, that you avoid using the "Auto ISO" setting, one that we don't use much anyway.
