Color spaces are built on color models and define a specific range of displayable colors, often within the limitations of the applications they’re designed for, such as the display on computer monitors.

Learning about it can help you buy your next phone, TV, laptop, or computer monitor, and get the most out of your viewing experience.

Every color space is made for different purposes, and they impact how everything is displayed.

sRGB is currently the standard color space for almost everything you see on the web.

Rec.709, Rec.2100 , and DCI-P3 are three more color spaces that are optimized for video and display technology.

The technology used across these applications can vary, too.
