Culture and cultural heritage
The Pihnemt feel a very heavy respectability weighing on them. Their past mistakes, this has made them change face in order to be perceived differently. They try to appear cool and collected, but their inner thoughts betray them. They as well are very passionate. They like stories and exciting adventures as much if not more than any orange person ever would. But they repress their emotions to appear trustworthy and authoritative. While this is true they care a great deal for others, and a Pihnemt could be the best friend ever.
Said in another way: "Dark blue is the color of conservatism and responsibility. Although it appears to be cool, calm and collected, it is the color of the non-emotional worrier with repressed feelings, the pessimist and the hypocrite. Dark blue can be compassionate but has trouble showing it as its emotions run deep."
