What is true of this colour, and of no other
- 3 other named colours sit within ΔE00 2 of it.
- 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 81.2; on black, Lc -20.6. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 10.4 and 9.9 and 51.6 — no red cone.
