    • Working: The current working space.
    • Input/Output: Where available, the relevant input space (e.g. the video clip’s input transform for a video layer) or output space (e.g. the output transform for a display).
    • CIE spaces: Various space colour coordinates defined by CIE standards.
    • Custom: Choose a custom colour space from all available spaces.
