sRGB, or standard RGB, is a widely used color space that defines a standard set of colors for computers, printers, and the internet. Developed by Microsoft and HP, it ensures consistent and accurate color representation across different devices and platforms by establishing a specific range of red, green, and blue colors and how they mix. It's the default standard for most consumer devices and online content.

Color Consistency: sRGB was created to ensure that a color looks the same on different screens and devices. When a device is set to sRGB mode, it displays colors according to this standard, promoting color consistency.

Standard for the Web: It became the universal color standard for the internet and is still the default for most online content and consumer-grade devices like monitors and cameras.

Gamut: sRGB has a smaller color gamut (the range of colors it can display) than other color spaces like Adobe RGB. This makes it a simple standard for everyday use, but less ideal for professional applications that require a wider range of colors.

Technical Basis: The sRGB standard is based on the ITU-R BT.709 standard used for HDTV and includes a specific transfer function (a gamma curve) to account for how human eyes and older CRT monitors perceive brightness.

Simplified Workflow: Because it is the default for so many devices, sRGB is a good choice for anyone wanting color consistency across their personal computers and the web without complex color management.
