The Adobe RGB (1998) colour space was developed by Adobe Systems. It aims to ensure the optimal range of colours available within the RGB colour model are accurately reproduced when output to a digital displays or printers.
- The general purpose of a colour space is to determine the range of colours available within a specific workflow and may be determined by a user or programmatically.
- The purpose of RGB (1998) was to improve on the gamut of colours that can be produced by the earlier sRGB colour space, primarily in the reproduction of cyan-green hues.
- It can reproduce approximately 35% more colours compared to sRGB in ideal conditions.
- It is estimated to cover approximately 50% to 70% of the colours perceived by the human eye in ideal conditions.
- In a digital environment, the aim is to ensure that a selected range of colours appears consistent throughout a workflow and that the desired range of colours is successfully reproduced at the end of the process.
