- It uses 53% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 100.1; 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.
- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 6.1 and 6.1 and 23.2 — no red cone.
