I thought it was going to take till 2030+ before this could be done. But we are here. From sRGB to DCI-P3 and BT.2020. I dont believe there are any other colour space in the work that exceed the BT.2020 standard. But hopefully there will be one soon as it still only represent ~75% of CIE colour spaces. May be we should just start measuring with CIE itself as benchmark.
There is still so much more to do and improve.
