Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

• Lightness: 0.208 → 0.986 (range 0.778, min 0.208, max 0.986); monotonic; midpoint 0.633
• Chroma: min 0.038, max 0.158, mean 0.106
• Hue: 110.2° → 107.0° (span 86.6°), path monotonic-ccw; quadrants: chartreuse, yellow, orange, red
• Endpoint temperature: neutral → warm
• Perceptual ΔE: total 116.9, mean/step 0.458, max step 0.477, smoothness 0.989, speed 0.458
