#2Screens also display colours differently. Trying to get the perfect colour is futile in the same way trying to get pixel perfect web designs is.

Probably unsurprisingly, the (honestly absurd world of) color is a pretty consistent topic among video engineers. Color theory is one of those areas that people working directly with it see it as a completely unsolved problem, and everyone else largely takes it for granted. This is a small sample size, but these are all talks just from a local SF Video meetup and the Demuxed conference, and the speakers work at YouTube, Vimeo, Mux, and a fruit company.

#4There was a website that showed different browsers rendered CSS differently, it reminds me vaguely of a square / maybe divided in triangles. Anyone know the website? I have been looking for it but to no avail.

On my Samsung Note 8, photos are rendered with very different colors in email previews vs if you download then view them, the email preview shows the colors as being very blown out.
Color spaces are hard yo.

#7I don't get the image at the top. Why are they showing a different color in the two left most squares?

It's an image from one of the examples showing the situation. Specifically, this is how Firefox renders the different videos.
> There is a lot to unpack here. Since 709.mp4 and 709vui.mp4 look the same, we can deduce Firefox assumes BT.709 when the VUI is not present. 601vui.mp4 rendering correctly means the VUI is honored for BT.601 content. However, when a BT.601 file without a VUI is rendered as 709 it becomes very dark. Obviously, it's impossible to render things correctly without the necessary information, but the choice Firefox made distorts the color more drastically than the method Safari and Chrome use.

Oh man this brings back memories. Remember when Microsoft used to hardcode acid compliance into IE even though Trident didn’t support half those features in on any other website?
