258+ RGB colorspaces are additive,
259+ and their gamut is defined
260+ by the chromaticities of the red, green and blue primaries,
261+ plus the chromaticity of the <dfn export>white point</dfn>
262+ (the color formed by all three primaries at full intensity).
263+
264+ Most colorspaces use one of a few
265+ daylight-simulating [=white points=] ,
266+ which are named by the color temperature
267+ of the corresponding black-body radiator.
268+ For example, [=D65=] is a daylight whitepoint
269+ corresponding to a correlated color temperature
270+ of 6500 Kelvin
271+ (actually 6504,
272+ because the value of Plank's constant has changed
273+ since the color was originally defined).
274+
275+ To avoid cumulative round-trip errors,
276+ it is important that the identical chromaticity values
277+ are used consistently,
278+ at all places in a calculation. Thus,
279+ for maximum compatibility,
280+ for this specification,
281+ the following two standard
282+ daylight-simulating [=white points=] are defined:
