Page "RGB color space" Paragraph 6

As of 2007, sRGB is by far the most commonly used RGB color space, particularly in consumer grade digital cameras, HD video cameras, and computer monitors.

HDTVs use a similar space, commonly called Rec.

709, sharing the sRGB primaries.

The sRGB space is considered adequate for most consumer applications.

Having all devices use the same color space is convenient in that an image does not need to be converted from one color space to another before being displayed.

However, sRGB's limited gamut leaves out many highly saturated colors that can be produced by printers or in film, and thus is not ideal for some high quality applications.

The wider gamut Adobe RGB is being built into more medium-grade digital cameras, and is favored by many professional graphic artists for its larger gamut.
