Hello Daniel,

Is it perhaps a brighter (instead of more saturated) red, or does the

display extend beyond AdobeRGB's red?

Yes, the display extends a little bit beyond the AdobeRGB space, at least in
the previous calibration.

Sky and water in blue appear somewhat brighter (and less saturated) in sRGB
but these red tones are getting much less saturated on the sRGB display.

Unfortunately it is not possible to demonstrate this in screen shots.

It's a bit odd to see a difference in the saturation of red as AdobeRGB has the
same red primary coordinates as sRGB. Is it perhaps a brighter (instead of more
saturated) red, or does the display extend beyond AdobeRGB's red?

Best regards,
Daniel

Hello,

thanks for all answers.

Both images, sRGB and AdobeRGB, look very similar, as expected – both on the
sRGB and the AdobeRGB display. However, both look more vivid on the AdobeRGB
display, although some special colours like a very saturated red exhibit a
much more apparent difference – again as expected. These are the out-of-gamut
colours in sRGB.

The point I was wondering about is the fact that also an image rendered in sRGB
looks “better” on the AdobeRGB display.
