What is true of this colour, and of no other
- 7 other named colours sit within ΔE00 2 of it.
- It uses 96% 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 78.7; on black, Lc -23.1. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 31.1 and 42.9 and 53.9 — no red cone.
