It is composited in the output device's color space, which is often sRGB or close to sRGB, but not always. A notable significant exception is pre Snow Leopard Macs that use a gamma 1.8 transfer curve. By the way, sniffing the display color profile through getImageData is a known fingerprinting technique. This factor alone can be sufficient to fingerprint a user who has a calibrated monitor.
