scRGB

<p>scRGB is a wide color <a href="/facts/Gamut/bRQc2fCr">gamut</a> <a href="/facts/RGB_color_space/00Q0tTS5">RGB color space</a> created by <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a> and <a href="/facts/Hewlett-Packard/abuNSYNu">HP</a> that uses the same color primaries and white/black points as the <a href="/facts/SRGB/Hsfl1GuK">sRGB</a> color space but allows coordinates below zero and greater than one. The full range is −0.5 through just less than +7.5.
</p><p>Negative numbers enables scRGB to encompass most of the <a href="/facts/CIE_1931_color_space/fzgwzV8V">CIE 1931 color space</a> while maintaining simplicity and <a href="/facts/Backward_compatibility/FbHFBu5y">backward compatibility</a> with sRGB by not changing the <a href="/facts/Primary_colors/F4wNk0TC">primary colors</a>. However this means approximately 80% of the scRGB color space consists of <a href="/facts/Imaginary_color/Jm6jPWK0">imaginary colors</a>. Numbers greater than 1.0 allow <a href="/facts/High_dynamic_range/n4yFQ5tG">high dynamic range</a> images to be represented, though the dynamic range is less than other formats.
