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 0.0; on black, Lc -97.5. 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.
- tritanopia shifts it by ΔE00 13.0 — no blue cone.
