What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses 77% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 70.5; on black, Lc -31.2. 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 34.1 and 37.5 and 42.3 — no red cone.
