What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses 58% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 88.2; on black, Lc -14.0. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 9.0 and 8.6 and 8.2 — no red cone.
