What is true of this colour, and of no other

11 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 85% of the chroma sRGB can show at this lightness and hue — close enough to the boundary that a wider display would show it slightly more vividly.
As text on white it measures APCA Lc 33.1; on black, Lc -69.5. 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 22.0 and 23.2 and 31.6 — no red cone.
