## Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

- Lightness: 0.121 → 0.949 (range 0.827, min 0.121, max 0.949); monotonic; midpoint 0.553
- Chroma: min 0.019, max 0.115, mean 0.084
- Hue: 3.4° → 154.7° (span 209.1°), path monotonic-ccw; quadrants: rose, magenta, violet, blue, azure, cyan, mint
- Endpoint temperature: warm → neutral
- Perceptual ΔE: total 118.9, mean/step 0.466, max step 0.686, smoothness 0.868, speed 0.466

## Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

- Protanopia: ΔE total 100.0; preserves order: yes
- Deuteranopia: ΔE total 96.1; preserves order: yes
