Sensible jobs for this swatch

text or icons on a white canvas

On a black or near-black UI, #706a6e is 3.98:1. Prefer it as a fill, border, or large heading rather than 16px copy.

Low saturation makes this easy to overuse as a neutral. Keep one chromatic accent elsewhere so the interface does not go muddy.
