Detailed Description

This is a RGBA floating point color.

The color can be converted between different color spaces using the matrix-class.

But in most cases in the application and ttauri library this color would be in the esRGBA color space. This color space is compatible with the sRGB standard IEC 61966-2-1:1999.

esRGB details:

• the ITU-R BT.709 color primaries.
• A linear transfer function (unlike sRGB).
• R=0.0, G=0.0, B=0.0: Black
• R=1.0, G=1.0, B=1.0: White D65 at 80 nits (80 cd/m^2).
• RGB values above 1.0 are allowed for HDR (high dynamic range)
• RGB values below 0.0 are allowed for WCG (wide color gamut)

esRGBA details:

• Includes an alpha value
• Alpha values are linear and must be between 0.0 through 1.0.
• A=0.0 fully transparent
• A=1.0 fully opaque
• RGB values are NOT pre-multiplied with the alpha value.

This color format is inspired by scRGB, however scRGB only describes a 12- or 16-bit integer per component encoding of RGB values between -0.5 and 7.5.

It is also inspired by Apple's extended sRGB format.
