What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses only 35% of the chroma available at this lightness and hue — there is a far more vivid version of this colour inside sRGB.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 86.2; on black, Lc -15.8. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 7.4 and 7.2 and 35.3 — no red cone.
