Description Tiar 2019-04-21 21:04:54 UTC 
SUMMARY
Default background color is white, which is ok, but if someone wants to create a HDR image, it hurts their eyes because the first thing they see is a huge super bright white rectangle. It's like looking directly at a lightbulb.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get a HDR setup.
2. Clear up preferences.
3. Create a new image with Rec2020 linear color space. Don't touch "Content" tab.

OBSERVED RESULT
Big white rectangle burning your eyes.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dimmed light-grey rectangle, maybe? Or at least some kind of a warning...

NOTES:
Since user can set up their own default background color (it is remembered and suggested/used next time), it needs to be thought through: it wouldn't be great to overwrite user's choice. On the other hand, color selector used in Content tab don't support HDR...
