Sorry, the thread is getting a bit long so it takes me a while to
notice things!!

So the original sRGB colour space definition comes from:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/userspace-api/media/v4l/colorspaces-details.html#col-srgb

I agree that the values aren't necessarily the ones you first think
of, there is some history behind some of them.

I don't think it matters for the Pi, though. I believe the only colour
spaces we ask for are Jpeg, Smpte170m and Rec709. (When we really want
sRGB for still capture we ask for Jpeg.)
