What is true of this colour, and of no other

  • 5 other named colours sit within ΔE00 2 of it.
  • It sits exactly on the sRGB boundary: at this lightness and hue the gamut has nothing left, and a wider display would show a more colourful version of it.
  • As text on white it measures APCA Lc 60.0; on black, Lc -41.7. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.
  • Built into an eleven-step scale, 10 of the 10 adjacent pairs stay ΔE00 2 apart — see the ramp.
  • protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 32.0 and 46.0 and 60.2 — no red cone.

Ranked by CIEDE2000 — perceptual distance, not hex arithmetic. The closest isInfrared at ΔE00 1.053: between 1 and 2 — a trained eye spots it when the two touch; nobody spots it across a room. What the numbers mean.

5 of these have no page of their own: pages exist for the 4,961 colours the dataset marks as good names.
