RGB Is A Standard: RGB Color Space HP Microsoft Internet ITU-R BT.709 HDTV Gamma Curve Crts

RGB is a standard color space created by HP and Microsoft in 1996 for use on monitors, printers and the Internet known as sRGB. sRGB uses the same color primaries as HDTV and studio monitors along with a gamma curve typical of CRT monitors at the time. This allowed sRGB to be directly displayed on CRT monitors, contributing to its widespread acceptance. Unlike other RGB color spaces, sRGB gamma cannot be expressed with a single numerical value but rather uses a combination of linear and non-linear sections involving exponents and gamma values ranging from 1.0 to 2.4.

RGB is a standard RGB color space created cooperatively by HP and Microsoft in 1996 for use on

monitors, printers and the Internet.


sRGB uses the ITU-R BT.709 primaries, the same as are used in studio monitors and HDTV,[1] and a
transfer function (gamma curve) typical of CRTs. This specification allowed sRGB to be directly
displayed on typical CRT monitors of the time, a factor which greatly aided its acceptance.
Unlike most other RGB color spaces, the sRGB gamma cannot be expressed as a single numerical
value. The overall gamma is approximately 2.2, consisting of a linear (gamma 1.0) section near
black, and a non-linear section elsewhere involving a 2.4 exponent and a gamma (slope of log
output versus log input) changing from 1.0 through about 2.3.
