Open Challenge: Clarifying Color Spec Terminology

🏆 OPEN CHALLENGE: Clarifying Color Spec Terminology

(A good-faith effort to align our industry with standards)

I’m offering 2 hours of 1:1 consultation (HDR workflows, color science, or post strategy) to anyone who can validate the following claims using direct quotes from SMPTE/ITU standards (no opinions, blogs, or manufacturer docs):   

🔍 The Claims:

1. “Rec.2020 = Rec.1886 with a wider gamut.”  

2. “Display P3 simply maps from Rec.1886”

3. “sRGB = Rec.1886 with a slightly different curve.”

🎁 The Prize

• 2-hour private consultation on HDR workflows, spatial contrast, or color science 

📜 Rules

• Evidence MUST cite SMPTE/ITU standards (no opinions, Yedlin essays, or manufacturer docs).
• Submit via LinkedIn comment or DM by 7 Aug. 2025
• Valid entries get published + scrutinized by industry peers.  

❓ Why This Matters

Clarity in standards protects artists from broken workflows. If these claims hold, we all learn. If not, we correct.  

👉 Educators, colorists, engineers: 

Prove these claims right—or help us correct them.
