#717fe0 is a fairly saturated indigo with a soft periwinkle cast. Its mid-lightness keeps it friendly instead of heavy, so it works as a dominant UI color or brand base rather than a small accent. It flatters warm ochre and muted coral better than the usual gray neutrals, though it can wash out against plain white. Black text reads clearly on it at about 5.8:1, enough for AA body copy.
