Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to add or edit colour metadata in
Matroska files with mkvpropedit? I'm thinking of Transfer Characteristics,
Color Primaries, Matrix Coefficients. Looking at the values in `mkvpropedit
-l`, I don't see these values listed. Could this be added? This could allow
users to inject better description into their files without going the
ffmpeg route and creating a new file.

Best,

Kieran.
