Color is so hard. From colorspaces, to bit-depth, to gamuts, to HDR vs SDR, to ICC profiles. And your hard work is getting displayed on a $20 Wal-mart Android tablet in bright sunlight.

The amazing thing is that it's one of the oldest fields of study when it comes to human perception, yet it's still an active space with tons of new technologies, techniques and discoveries.

If you dig deep enough into the "best" way to map HDR values to a monitor (HDR or SDR), you'll eventually reach active discussions on the ACES forum, with new techniques and transforms posted constantly.

You can lose an entire lifetime going down the rabbit hole of trying to really understand the full differences between HDR and SDR :p
