What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses 67% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 10.9; on black, Lc -93.2. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 9.4 and 10.4 and 26.8 — no red cone.
