This RGB profi le is used in the majority of Windows monitors.
It
closely resembles the RGB commonly used in color television,
and is also used in the digital television broadcasting sys tem that
is on its way to becoming the industry standard in the United

as a default color profi le and guarantee op er a tion when it used.
It is also on its way to becoming the standard for images on the
web.
This profi le is suited to users who plan to use their digital
images “as is,” without editing or print ing them.

fers from the drawback of a narrow gamut with a limited area
available for reproducing blues.

setting in Adobe Photoshop 6.0 “sRGB IWC61966-2.1.”

It was proposed by Bruce Fraser, who claims that it includes
most of the colors in the SWOP CMYK gamut.
