Larger working space than adobe rgb - for not loosing colors our often very expensive sensors provide us

Colour space comparison – from practice

I’ll try to show, how the monitor colour spaces

  • ProPhoto RGB
  • AdobeRGB
  • sRGB

compare to the colour rendition of 2 different inkjet print papers

  • Canson Platine Fibre Rag – Semigloss paper (neutral white)
  • Tecco PCR 310 – Matte paper (almost neutral white)

which I actually use with my own profiles / Epson P800.


A. – Monitor colour spaces

  • black – ProPhoto RGB
  • yellow – AdobeRGB
  • white – sRGB


B. – ProPhoto RGB vs. Paper

  • black – ProPhoto RGB
  • yellow – Semigloss paper
  • white – Matte paper


C. – AdobeRGB vs. Paper

  • black – AdobeRGB ( → Eizo CG2730)
  • yellow – Semigloss paper
  • white – Matte paper


D. – sRGB vs. Paper

  • black – sRGB ( → Eizo CG2730 + L767)
  • yellow – Semigloss paper
  • white – Matte paper



B – a monitor with ProPhoto RGB colour space would be ideal :slight_smile:
C – represents my monitor
D – editing in sRGB for web and some printing
