What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses 55% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 14.1; on black, Lc -89.7. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 9.9 and 10.8 and 24.7 — no red cone.
