Lecture 20: Intro to Color Science II (141)
colinsteidtmann

Summary: This image shows 3 color gamuts (gamuts = range of colors humans can see or device can render)

Horseshoe shape: This represents the range of colors humans can see.

Triangles: These represent the color gamuts of specific devices or file formats, like Apple P3 (wider gamut) and standard RGB (smaller gamut).

Device limitations: Devices like monitors can only display a subset of the colors humans can see.

It was cool to learn about sRGB because I had been looking at monitors recently. Some cheaper models state 99%sRGB - aka they can reproduce 99% of the sRGB gamut. I wonder which colors are the harder 1% to produce on a cheaper screen.

How efficiently can people tell apart these differences (high/low end monitors)? What variables would color perception vary on?

Each device having a different color gamut makes a lot of sense, since hardware will determine what colors and be produced and displayed. It is always a pain to callibrate colors to my liking when I get a new monitor.

This illustrates the impressive capabilities of various technologies and their color rendering abilities. Equally noteworthy is the fact that the sRGB standard can accurately reproduce many real-life colors without us questioning its ability to do so.

Is there a way to upgrade the sRGB in a way that helps it display the gamut that the Apple P3 can display? For example, as we saw on some example questions, can we add another color or light intensity into our equations?
