That's something you don't need to worry about ... graphics white is where your HDR media turns to speculars, either at 203 or 300 typically, ergo those options. Leave it at 100.

Just leave it default.

Thought this one would be an easy answer?

Its just confusing that all the colour management options are for HDR, when lot of cameras are only SDR. I assume it must be fine to just work in default 203?
