A higher bit depth introduces more steps in between the min and max values. 10 bit has over 1 billion colors within it so it helps to be even that much more precise with color accuracy.īit depth has nothing to do with color space, as this is only limited by the monitors gamut coverage. The min and max values (black and fully saturated colors) will stay the same no matter if you use 8bit or 10bit.
8 bit is the standard 16.7million colors with SRGB.
Biggest thing is the much wider color space.
