Description

That was a discussion about this on Slack, but I want to open an issue for this.

Default ACES config must include Standard color spaces even if they are legacy or not used in VFX industry.

ACES that want to be a standard for new media also have a duty to join separate camps, VFX, Graphic Design, Photographers, etc.

Obeying some standard color spaces, that can be used in other industries, like Adobe RGB (that included in ALL DSLR and Mirrorless cameras prior to 2023 release date). ProPhoto RGB (RIMM/ROMM) that is internal wide gamut color space for most Adobe Apps (good or not, is the same industry standard as proprietary Nuke) that have almost the same as ACEScg or BT.2020 gamut size.
Some can be used in research papers or in resources about color science. For example https://www.colour-science.org/apps/ Have a lot classical, legacy or other color spaces from Different industries, that make this package usable for everyone, not only several holliwood companies.

Looking how many camera specific color profiles already included in ACES configs, 3-5-10 standard color spaces not make ACES config heavier or easier to manage. But can help to find a piece for all who need to work with colors.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the 23 issue comments and the referenced Slack discussion, then examine how the default ACES config represents existing color spaces. Confirm the agreed Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB (RIMM/ROMM), Widegamut RGB, and any additional standard spaces are included without making the config unmanageable.
