What is true of this colour, and of no other

12 other named colours sit within ΔE00 2 of it — this part of the space is crowded, and the names here are finer distinctions than most people make.
It uses 92% 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 30.9; on black, Lc -71.8. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 20.9 and 21.9 and 28.3 — no red cone.
