Colors outside the sRGB gamut can be specified in Cascading Style Sheets by making one or more of the red, green and blue components negative or greater than 100%, so the color space is theoretically an unbounded extrapolation of sRGB similar to scRGB. [3] Specifying a non-sRGB color this way requires the RGB() function call.
sRGB is a standard numerical encoding of colors, based on the RGB (red, green, blue) color space, for use on monitors, printers, and the World Wide Web. It was initially proposed by HP and Microsoft in 1996 [ 2 ] and became an official standard of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as IEC 61966-2-1:1999. [ 1 ]
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%.
The test chart shows the full 256 levels of the red, green, and blue (RGB) primary colors and cyan, magenta, and yellow complementary colors, along with a full 256-level grayscale. Gradients of RGB intermediate colors (orange, lime green, sea green, sky blue, violet, and fuchsia), and a full hue spectrum are also present.

* Prior to standardization as a web color, Gainsboro was included as one of the X11 color names. [14] It was, however, absent from the original 1987 version of the list, [ 15 ] but present in Paul Raveling's version [ 16 ] which added, amongst other things, "[l]ight and off-white colors, copied from several Sinclair Paints color samples".
Created to describe a typical 1990s CRT screen, sRGB has a limited gamut and is unable to describe every real color. As Wikipedia templates take a hex triplet as input, all colors must have a value in the sRGB range. Fitting a color into the range is known as gamut mapping. The current practice is to use an scRGB interpretation scaled to 0-255.

Colors are an important part of visual arts, fashion, interior design, and many other fields and disciplines. The following is a list of colors. A number of the color swatches below are taken from domain-specific naming schemes such as X11 or HTML4. RGB values are given for each swatch ...
