What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses only 31% 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 77.4; on black, Lc -24.3. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 5.8 and 6.0 and 16.6 — no red cone.
