A green that is muted. It is dark — it carries white text and needs care with black.

What is true of this colour, and of no other
- One other named colour sits 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 90.2; on black, Lc -12.1. 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 16.9 and 16.7 and 44.8 — no red cone.
