Could be something peculiar to Nvidia GPUs, or maybe it’s just Firefox, but I never see this colour anywhere else, only when something causes a glitch in the rendering of video content. Sometimes it’s not just the video player that goes green, but the entire viewport of the browser window. I’m mainly curious why it’s that colour, rather than just black or white or something like that.
- HEX: 004d00
- RGB: rgb(0, 77, 0)
Cheers!
This happens when I try HW decoding on VLC on an old AMD card, the video has extra letterbox bars of this color (can be cropped manually by pressing
C). At first I thought it’s some default in the ITU-R BT.709 (YCbCr) colorspace used in most video codecs but those RGB values map to an uneven55, 106, 100…Yeah, I bet it’s something to do with a video decoder trying to decode empty data (dropped or corrupted frame, etc.), and the result of that being converted from YCbCr to RGB, it’s too consistent of a failure case.
