What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses 48% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 16.2; on black, Lc -87.5. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 8.6 and 8.9 and 19.7 — no red cone.
