Oblivion
#000435
A blue that is muted. It is very dark — white text sits on it comfortably, black text does not.

What is true of this colour, and of no other
- 4 other named colours sit within ΔE00 2 of it.
- It uses 86% 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 105.3; on black, Lc 0.0. 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.
- All three dichromacies see it as very nearly the same colour you do: its hue is not the part carrying its identity.
