I suggest ICC spec language.  'ICC-absolute colorimetric'

'media-relative colorimetric'

I think this is 'deviceRGB' although it could be 'unknown'.
Practically, it could only be unknown if the values aren't being
displayed or output anywhere. The instant RGB values are displayed
anywhere, the color space is knowable, therefore it's at least
deviceRGB. But unknown is also consistent with EXIF.

And 'color space' can be assumed.

Summary probably should be 'sRGB IEC61966-2.1' and again 'color space'
can be assumed.

Summary probably should be 'Adobe RGB (1998)'

DCI-P3
But there are three, so it needs to be specific which one or define
all three. And there's a variant, which is 'Display P3' from Apple,
which starts out being defined with DCI-P3 D65 but uses a tone
response curve defined by the sRGB curve.

Probably the summary should be 'ITU-R BT.2020 for UHDTV' same for below.

It's reasonable to add 'ITU-R BT.709 for HDTV' or Rec. 709 since
that's used today still.
