NTSC (National Television System Committee) was originally an organization that defined one of the first analog color television standards. Today, NTSC is mainly used as a reference point for display color spaces. The NTSC gamut covers a wider range than sRGB, especially in red and green tones. As a result, display specifications often list NTSC coverage (e.g., “72% NTSC”) as a measure of color reproduction capability. Higher coverage means a broader color palette and more accurate image rendering, which is critical in graphics, video production, printing, and other professional applications.
