Wikipedia uses a standardized set of color coordinate systems in color infobox (sample shown) and also in articles such as List of colors.
Color coordinate ranges are a matter of choice and there is no universal standard range for many color spaces (though some ranges may be prevalent). A box having all of the different possible coordinate ranges would be impractical.
Therefore, Wikipedia has chosen standard ranges for the coordinate systems, so as to have consistent coordinates in all color articles. This article describes the chosen systems and provides instructions for conversion to other ranges which might be needed by particular color environments.
