ENCODING CHARACTERISTICS
Color space
Type: Colorimetric RGB color space
Color gamut: extended (ITU-R BT.2020)
RGB primaries:x | y | z | |
R | 0.708 | 0.292 | 0.0 |

The chromaticities of the primaries for Rec.2020 yield negative tristimulus values when the D65-to-D50 chromatic adaptation matrix is applied. Negative XYZ values are technically not permitted by the v4 ICC specification, but can in practice be used in most CMMs without problems.
