The standard RGB color space used by the vast majority of web content, monitors, and digital cameras.
sRGB (standard Red Green Blue) was created by HP and Microsoft in 1996 to provide a consistent color space for the internet and consumer displays. It defines specific red, green, and blue primary chromaticities and a specific gamma curve (approximately 2.2). sRGB covers about 35% of the visible spectrum, which is adequate for most consumer content but insufficient for high-end photography and print. Nearly all web content and CSS colors are specified in sRGB, and it remains the default color space for the web, though wider gamut spaces like Display P3 are gaining adoption.
