1/2.6 is appropriate for a totally black viewing environment. For the web, a 1/2.2 (or sRGB) transfer curve is more appropriate for typical viewing conditions. > Typically, the deciding factor is based on the general ambiance of the room. A darker room requires a higher power (the reason why cinema projections in a completely dark room use gamma 2.6). A good rule is to use a value around 2.0 for daylight uncontrolled lighting, 2.2 for dim lighting, 2.35-2.4 for a dark controlled room, and 2.5-2.6 for pitch black. David Torciva https://davidtorcivia.com/lets-talk-monitors-display-basics/ Since graphics cards have hardware support for the sRGB transfer curve (whose overall gamma is close to a 2.2 curve), I wonder if we can specify the DCI-P3 primaries and whitepoint and the sRGB transfer curve. Rec 2020 also uses an sRGB-like curve, with a linear portion near black, except with higher precision to cope with 10bit or 12bit per component displays. -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/295#issuecomment-234748814 using your GitHub account
