This is not a vivid blue. #bcccd5 is a pale, almost grey shade that reads light and airy, with just enough pigment to avoid feeling sterile. Low saturation makes it a strong supporting tone or UI background, and black text passes contrast on it easily at about 12.7:1. Next to plain white it can look washed out, so ground it with a deep navy or charcoal.
