Terminology:

  • Rec. 709: Primaries for the sRGB-Rec709-D65 ("sRGB") color space
  • P3: Primaries for the sRGB-P3-D65 ("Display P3") wide gamut color space
  • Display P3: Color space defined by sRGB transfer functions, P3 primaries, and D65 white point
  • Linear P3: Color space defined by linear transfer functions, P3 primaries, and D65 white point

Note that "Linear Display P3" is not a thing — Display implies sRGB transfer functions, which a linear color space does not have. So the terms "display-p3" vs. "p3-linear" are intentional, and reflect W3C naming as well to my understanding.

This should be considered experimental — use of a wide-gamut working color space is going to take some deeper investigation, and we may decide that p3-linear is not necessary. But it is considerably easier to test than rec2020-linear or acescg, under current browser support.

Holding off on this — not sure Linear P3 will be needed.
