Dear Chairs,

The report from the W3C Workshop on Wide Color Gamut and High Dynamic 
Range for the Web [1], held online in July-September 2021, is now available:
https://www.w3.org/Graphics/Color/Workshop/report.html

This report contains an executive summary, introduces the subject area, 
discusses major topics from the live sessions, links to the presentation 
videos and session minutes, and details next steps that were taken, and 
continue to be explored, after the workshop.

The workshop connected the color science, content creation and web 
platform communities and explored the current, ongoing transition of the 
web platform from the legacy sRGB, narrow gamut, standard dynamic range 
world of the previous quarter century, through wide color gamut, and 
onto high dynamic range.

15 workshop talks were published [2] and discussed online in five live 
sessions.

The main outcomes are that:

-  Standardization efforts on WCG and HDR are in-place and ongoing at 
W3C, the International Color Consortium, the Alliance for Open Media, 
and other fora
-  A Color API for the Web is currently being incubated in WICG, and 
when more mature will require formation of a new W3C Working Group
-  Interoperability for WCG-aware Web specifications has been a focus 
for the last year, including Interop 2022
-  Canvas has already been extended to WCG, and HDR in Canvas is at the 
prototype stage
-  Handling of HDR content, in particular HDR tone mapping for a wide 
range of displays and viewing environments, needs significant further 
discussion and experimentation.

Interested parties can contact Chris Lilley <chris@w3.org>.

W3C thanks the Program Committee, workshop speakers, and all 
participants for making this event possible and for continuing to work 
together to explore the next steps [3] in the year since the live 
sessions. Substantial progress has already been made. Join us in 
continuing this important effort.
