What is true of this colour, and of no other
- One other named colour sits within ΔE00 2 of it.
- It uses 44% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 53.0; on black, Lc -48.9. 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 21.0 and 21.6 and 29.4 — no red cone.
