What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses only 12% 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 74.0; on black, Lc -27.7. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 7.4 and 7.7 and 29.8 — no red cone.
