What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses only 39% of the chroma available at this lightness and hue — there is a far more vivid version of this colour inside sRGB.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 89.1; on black, Lc -13.1. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 10.9 and 11.2 and 29.8 — no red cone.
