What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses 66% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 87.6; on black, Lc -14.5. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 27.6 and 31.0 and 38.4 — no red cone.
