It's not though - it's colorimetry, so there is no control
over the visible spectrum - the spectral characteristic is
determined by the display primary spectral characteristics,
and a change in representation/encoding doesn't imply
any change in the primaries. Even the RGB's haven't changed,
because the relationship between RGB <-> YCbCr is fixed
according to a given standard.
