What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses 87% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue — close enough to the boundary that a wider display would show it slightly more vividly.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 53.9; on black, Lc -47.9. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 32.5 and 38.7 and 49.8 — no red cone.
