What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses 65% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 71.3; on black, Lc -30.4. 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 31.2 and 36.8 and 46.5 — no red cone.
