Re: [community-group] Legacy color (#137)

> There’s a few answers to this. Rec.2020 is pretty huge, and that will cover quite a lot of future advancements. ACES is way bigger again. sRGB Extended allows for values beyond 1.0, which means it can also cover anything.

Rec BT.2020 is pretty huge indeed, and there are significant problems with it as a practical display space (observer metamerism, speckle, getting adequate brightness while keeping color purity) but as a space to specify colors it is fine and is widely used in industry (4k and up video content is delivered in BT.2020 or, for HDR, BT.2100 which has the same primaries).  Rec BT.2020 does not cover all real-world colors but it covers a very substantial portion of them and is a significant increase over display-p3.

As for ACES, there are two sets of primaries - the AP0 set is enormous and not physically realizable, the AP1 set is similar to BT.2020 in coverage. ACEScg and ACEScc use the AP1 primaries.
