Color spaces are standardized ways of representing and communicating colors within digital and print media. They define the specific range (gamut) of colors that can be displayed or reproduced, enabling consistent color rendering across different devices and platforms. Common examples include sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB, and others, each with varying gamuts tailored for specific uses such as web design, photography, or printing.
