A muted, mid-light indigo, the hex code #8d98db gets its dusty feel from a real gray undertone (see what colors make gray). That low saturation suits large backgrounds and supporting roles; as a small accent next to white it can look washed out. Black text reaches 7.6:1 contrast here, so body copy stays readable. Warm peach or mustard keeps its cool side from going flat.
