ScRGB color space

scRGB is an RGB (Red Green Blue) color space created by Microsoft for use in its GDI+ API in Windows Vista. It uses identical color primaries and white/black points as the sRGB color space, but uses 16-bit floating point (half precision) linear values instead of gamma compressed 8-bit integers. It allows values outside of the [0..1] range, creating a much larger effective gamut. It also has greater precision because the half-precision format has a 10-bit significand.

Specification of transformations

Transformation from CIE XYZ to RGB

: $egin{bmatrix}R_{linear}\G_{linear}\B_{linear}end{bmatrix}=egin{bmatrix}3.2410&-1.5374&-0.4986\-0.9692&1.8760&0.0416\0.0556&-0.2040&1.0570end{bmatrix}egin{bmatrix}X \ Y \ Z end{bmatrix}$

Transformation from RGB to CIE XYZ

: $egin{bmatrix}X\Y\Zend{bmatrix}=egin{bmatrix}0.4124&0.3576&0.1805\0.2126&0.7152&0.0722\0.0193&0.1192&0.9505end{bmatrix}egin{bmatrix}g(R_{srgb})\ g(G_{srgb})\ g(B_{srgb})end{bmatrix}$
