Well Sky Ultra HD can best be described as 'UHD lite'' They are still using the HD colour space Rec 709 when the accepted standard is Rec 2020. It seems their compliace with recommended standards is a bit fast & loose.

To quote
BT.2020, aka Rec.2020 (so called because it's supposed to be adopted by the year 2020) is actually a collection of standards, including the aforementioned 10-bit color depth, and like color depth it refers to the breadth of colors a panel is capable of displaying.

BT.2020 differs from the currently used Rec.709 standard, its use results in a larger span of colors being available to TV viewers, which more accurately capture the colors we can see in the real world.
