What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses 46% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 86.2; on black, Lc -15.9. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 23.2 and 24.1 and 29.4 — no red cone.
