We measure the Absolute Color Accuracy of the display with our proprietary sets of 41 Reference Colors for each Standard Color Gamut. The results are plotted on CIE 1976 Uniform Color Diagrams for each Gamut below.
41 Reference Colors for the wide DCI-P3 Color Gamut Standard
We have accurately calculated the Colors and Reference Colors for each
of the OnePlus 12 Standard Color Gamuts: DCI-P3 and RGB / Rec.709.
The colors in
Figure 2a
have been calculated to show the true colors
within the DCI-P3 Color Gamut.
The colors shown in most published
Color Gamuts are wildly incorrect.
Note that in order to see the true DCI-P3 colors in Figure 2a your display must support the DCI-P3 Color Gamut - if not then you will instead see the color saturation range that your display can produce, which in most cases will be lower than DCI-P3.
Note that Complementary Colors lie directly across from one another through the White Point. The 4 sets of triangles are the 25% 50% 75% and 100% Saturated Colors.
Uniform Color Diagrams
Note that the older 1931 CIE Diagrams that are published by many reviewers
with (x,y) color coordinates
are highly non-uniform and are meaningless for Color Accuracy.
Also the still widely referenced NTSC Color Gamut is from 1953 and has been
obsolete for over 30 years so it is also meaningless for specifying the
current Color Gamuts now in use.

Just Noticeable Color Difference JNCD
Color differences less than 1 JNCD are visually indistinguishable, while values greater than 1 JNCD are visually noticeable when the two colors are touching on-screen. When the colors are not touching and are further apart, the visual threshold for Just Noticing a Color Difference is higher. Here we will use 3 JNCD for the threshold of a visually noticeable display color difference in images. The 3 JNCD color difference is shown in the Figures below. Display Color Errors less than 3 JNCD on a display are generally not visually noticeable for typical image content and appear accurate to the eye. For an in-depth discussion and analysis of Absolute Color Accuracy see this article.
Color Shifts with Average Picture Level APL
The OnePlus 12 provides a very accurate color match to the sRGB / Rec.709 Standard Color Gamut. The Average Color Error is 0.7 JNCD and the Maximum Color Error is 1.5 JNCD.
