# AVCaptureColorSpace

An enumeration of color spaces a device can support.

```
enum AVCaptureColorSpace
```

## Overview

By default, a capture session automatically enables wide-gamut capture for supported devices and capture workflows.

## Topics

### Color spaces

[`AVCaptureColorSpace.sRGB`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureColorSpace/sRGB)

The standard RGB color space.

[`AVCaptureColorSpace.P3_D65`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureColorSpace/P3_D65)

The P3 D65 wide color space that uses Illuminant D65 as the white point.

[`AVCaptureColorSpace.HLG_BT2020`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureColorSpace/HLG_BT2020)

The BT.2020 wide color space that uses Illuminant D65 as the white point and Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) as the transfer function.

[`AVCaptureColorSpace.appleLog`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureColorSpace/appleLog)

The Apple Log Color space, which uses BT2020 as the color primaries, and an Apple-defined Log curve as a transfer function.

[`AVCaptureColorSpace.appleLog2`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureColorSpace/appleLog2)

The Apple Log 2 Color space, which uses Apple Gamut as the color primaries, and an Apple defined Log curve as a transfer function. When you set this as the active color space on an [`AVCaptureDevice`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureDevice), any [`AVCapturePhotoOutput`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoOutput) or [`AVCaptureStillImageOutput`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureStillImageOutput) connected to the same [`AVCaptureDevice`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureDevice) is made inactive (its [`isActive`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureConnection/isActive) property returns `false`).
