A pink that is muted. It is dark — it carries white text and needs care with black.

What is true of this colour, and of no other
- One other named colour sits within ΔE00 2 of it.
- It uses 94% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue — close enough to the boundary that a wider display would show it slightly more vividly.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 91.8; on black, Lc -10.6. 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 25.9 and 32.6 and 47.5 — no red cone.
