Ashy indigo with a grey cast, #9598a5 reads muted and mid-weight, closer to a stormy sky than a true purple. That low saturation makes it a steady supporting tone, flattered by cream, charcoal, or dusty rose rather than bright white. Black text hits about 7.3:1 contrast on it, so the hex code works well for UI backgrounds in meditation, denim, or creative branding.
