Towards richer colors on the Web
&gt; The image on the left below is a uniform red square in the sRGB gamut. The image on the right is slightly different, as it actually uses two different shades of red: one that is within the sRGB gamut and another that is outside of it. On sRGB displays, both colors are painted the same and the result is a uniform red square, just like the first image. However, on a system that can display wide-gamut colors, both shades of red will be painted differently and you will be able to see a faint WebKit logo inside the square.<p>Ironic. Given the author&#x27;s emphasis on Chromium, you would expect this example to work there. But, as far as I can tell, Chromium&#x27;s &quot;color management&quot; currently converts all images to sRGB before rendering them in the system&#x27;s color space, so the difference between the images is actually lost there. It works fine in Firefox (with color management enabled).<p>My understanding is that doing things correctly actually makes color management a lot more complicated for Firefox (because you can&#x27;t just have the renderer do color management from a single source - sRGB - to a single target - the monitor&#x27;s profile), but I think getting correct results for wide gamut images is worth it.<p>Note: my search powers are failing me at the moment, so I actually can&#x27;t find where I first read about this problem, so I&#x27;m not sure whether it&#x27;s the result of a bug or intended behavior, or even whether the problem extends beyond Linux + SDR screens.
