The same review reports measured absolute Adobe RGB coverage of 93.7%, with the numeric CIE basis unstated. Its chromaticity diagram is identified as CIE 1976, which does not separately establish the numeric coverage basis. This measured gamut result stays in source context because there is no dedicated measured-gamut field, rather than becoming a generic manufacturer coverage claim.
