sRGB stands for „Standard Red Green Blue“ and refers to a standardized color space that is widely used in many applications and devices. Originally developed for use in digital displays and web graphics, sRGB is now a widely accepted standard for color representation in various applications and devices.
The sRGB color space defines a limited palette of colors that can typically be displayed and processed by most computer monitors, digital cameras, printers, and web browsers. It was designed to ensure consistent and predictable color reproduction across different devices and to ensure that images and graphics appear similar regardless of where they are viewed.
Compared to larger color spaces such as Adobe RGB or DCI-P3, sRGB covers a smaller range of hues. However, it is sufficient for most everyday applications and provides good color accuracy and consistency.
sRGB is often used as the standard color space for displaying content on the web. When creating images or graphics for the web, it is common to save them in the sRGB color space to ensure they are correctly displayed by most web browsers.
It is important to note that color reproduction in sRGB can also depend on the calibration of the screen or printer. Accurate color calibration and profiling of devices are necessary to ensure that colors in the sRGB color space are accurately reproduced.
