Also known as the RGB(sRGB) color space.There are 3 channels in total, red,commonly referred to as r,range from 0 to 255.green,commonly referred to as g,range from 0 to 255.blue,commonly referred to as b,range from 0 to 255.
Source: sRGB was jointly developed by Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard in 1996. Its purpose is to serve as a standard RGB color space, ensuring consistent color display across different devices and platforms.

Usage: sRGB is the most commonly used color space in everyday computer monitors, TVs, cameras, printers, etc. It is also the default color space for images, videos, and web pages on the internet.
Additionally, it's worth noting that sRGB has a specific gamma value (around 2.2), which results in a non-linear relationship between low and high brightness levels. This non-linearity is beneficial for human visual perception as it provides more color details in darker areas.

YIQ color space introduction

Also known as the YIQ color space.There are 3 channels in total,Y,range from 0 to 1.I,range from -0.5957 to 0.5957.Q,range from -0.5226 to 0.5226.
Origin: The YIQ color space was specifically designed for the North American NTSC color television standard to accommodate compatibility between color and monochrome television broadcasts.
Primary Names: YIQ color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, 'I' represents the in-phase component, and 'Q' represents the quadrature component.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YIQ(0.5, 0.2, 0.3) represents a color with specific luminance and chromaticity.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in the North American NTSC (National Television System Committee) color television broadcasting system. Although less used in modern digital technology, it played a significant role during the era of analog television.
Additionally, the YIQ color space allows old black and white television receivers to receive and correctly display the luminance signal from color broadcasts without interference from the color information.
