What is true of this colour, and of no other

17 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 sits exactly on the sRGB boundary: at this lightness and hue the gamut has nothing left, and a wider display would show a more colourful version of it.
As text on white it measures APCA Lc 22.4; on black, Lc -80.9. 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 18.3 and 18.7 and 28.3 — no red cone.
