In case anyone wonders why colour spaces don't typically try to cover the full spectrum, there's two problems. One is that it may be difficult to reproduce consistently, but the other problem is that it's not a neat triangle, so to represent it completely as RGB you would have large regions of undefined space.

- jfkebwjsbx 7y agoI don’t see that as a problem. The color would be undefined for humans, but they would still be colors. It would make sense to have them if only to be able to perform operations on them and retain quality (like working with HDR/raw images even if almost everybody will see them in sRGB).
