What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses 69% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 16.7; on black, Lc -87.0. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 7.3 and 7.3 and 15.4 — no red cone.
