The Adobe Wide Gamut RGB color space is an RGB Color Space developed by Adobe Systems as an alternative to the standard SRGB Color Space . It is able to store a wider range of color values than sRGB. The Wide Gamut color space is an expanded version of the Adobe RGB Color Space , developed in 1998 . As a comparison, the Adobe Wide Gamut RGB color space encompasses 77.6% of the visible colors specified by the Lab Color Space , whilst the standard Adobe RGB color space covers just 50.6%. One of the downsides to this color space is that approximately 8% of the colors representable are Imaginary Colors that do not exist and are not representable in any medium {Link without Title} . This means that potential color accuracy is wasted for reserving these unnecessary colors. When working in color spaces with such a large Gamut , it is recommended to work in 16-bit color depth to avoid Posterization effects. This will occur more frequently in 8-bit modes as the gradient steps are much larger. For a color space with an even larger gamut, see the ProPhoto RGB Color Space |
