RE: Colours on the web | Bit depth, gamut, sRGB, Adobe RGB and more! 01-21-2018, 07:27 AM

I finally got around to reading the thread. A few things:
RGB are not the only primary colors. May have been a mistake because you later mentioned another set of primary colors. As far as learning that in grade-school, traditionally RYB is taught growing up as a subtractive color model.
As for JPEG being better than PNG for richer colors, I'm skeptical about the legitimacy of that currently. Current versions of PNG I believe support more colors than JPEG, while also offering transparency and lossless compression. Of course, at the cost of much larger file sizes.
Lastly, I'm wondering if anyone else views the 8-bit greyscale as smoother than the 16-bit greyscale in the picture posted in the OP?
Those are just a few thoughts I had as I read through, and other than some grammar and spelling editing that would be nice, it was a nice share. Thanks.
