# vImageCreateRGBColorSpaceWithPrimariesAndTransferFunction(_:_:_:_:_:) Creates an RGB color space based on primitives from Y’CbCr specifications. ``` func vImageCreateRGBColorSpaceWithPrimariesAndTransferFunction(_ primaries: UnsafePointer, _ tf: UnsafePointer, _ intent: CGColorRenderingIntent, _ flags: vImage_Flags, _ error: UnsafeMutablePointer!) -> Unmanaged! ``` ## Parameters `primaries` A set of x, y tristimulus values that define the color primaries for the RGB color space. `tf` The transfer function to convert from linear RGB (using the above primaries) to nonlinear RGB. `intent` A rendering intent constant that specifies how to handle colors that aren’t within the gamut of the destination color space. `flags` The options to use when performing the operation. This function supports only [`kvImagePrintDiagnosticsToConsole`](/documentation/Accelerate/kvImagePrintDiagnosticsToConsole), which prints diagnostic information to the console in the event of a failure. `error` A pointer to a [`vImage_Error`](/documentation/Accelerate/vImage_Error). The function overwrites the pointer to indicate the success or failure of the operation. ## Return Value A with a reference count of one. ## Discussion Use this function to create a instance to correspond with a specified set of color primaries and a transfer function. The instance defines an RGB color space. (A Y’CbCr color space is an RGB color space and a conversion matrix from RGB to Y’CbCr). The color primaries provide the white point in XYZ space, and the transfer function provides the transformation from linear color to nonlinear color that the pixels reside in. For example, the following code defines the RGB color space for ITU-R BT.709-5: ```swift var rgbPrimaries = vImageRGBPrimaries( red_x: 0.64, green_x: 0.3, blue_x: 0.15, white_x: 0.3127, red_y: 0.33, green_y: 0.6, blue_y: 0.06, white_y: 0.329) var transferFunction = vImageTransferFunction( c0: 1.099, c1: 1.0, c2: 0.0, c3: -0.099, gamma: 0.45, cutoff: 0.018, c4: 4.5, c5: 0) let colorSpace = vImageCreateRGBColorSpaceWithPrimariesAndTransferFunction( &rgbPrimaries, &transferFunction, .defaultIntent, vImage_Flags(kvImageNoFlags), nil) ``` --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
