What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses only 30% 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 66.1; on black, Lc -35.5. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 15.8 and 16.4 and 50.5 — no red cone.
