What is true of this colour, and of no other

38 other named colours sit within ΔE00 2 of it — this part of the space is crowded, and the names here are finer distinctions than most people make.
It uses only 23% of the chroma available at this lightness and hue — there is a far more vivid version of this colour inside sRGB.
As text on white it measures APCA Lc 22.6; on black, Lc -80.7. 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 6.8 and 7.4 and 18.6 — no red cone.
