#ffe3f4

A magenta that is nearly neutral — the hue shows only against a true grey. It is very light — it works as a page background, not as text.

What is true of this colour, and of no other

  • 3 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 9.6; on black, Lc -94.6. 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 11.2 and 11.6 and 38.8 — no red cone.
