What is true of this colour, and of no other

- It uses 54% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue.
- As text on white it measures APCA Lc 10.7; on black, Lc -93.4. The sign is the polarity, which the WCAG ratio discards.

- protanopia and deuteranopia and tritanopia shift it by ΔE00 6.9 and 7.2 and 16.2 — no red cone.
