#7f96b5 is a dusty blue with a heavy dose of gray, so it reads muted and cool instead of crisp. That low saturation gives it a settled, dependable character, which is why it shows up in finance, healthcare, and government design. Use it as a supporting tone rather than a hero color, since it can wash out next to white. It looks richer against warm terracotta than against camel.
