What is true of this colour, and of no other
- 4 other named colours sit within ΔE00 2 of it.
- It uses only 27% 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 71.5; on black, Lc -30.2. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 15.7 and 16.4 and 45.7 — no red cone.
