In the method, first signaling information and second signaling information is determined from a coded video bitstream of a coded region. The first signaling information is indicative of a first maximum transform size of the coded region of a first prediction mode, and the second signaling information is indicative of a second maximum transform size of the coded region of a second prediction mode. Further, whether transform signaling information is included in the coded video bitstream is determined based on the first signaling information and the second signaling information. The transform signaling information indicates whether an adaptive color transform (ACT) is applied on the coded region. The coded region is subsequently decoded based on the transform signaling information. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of video decoding for a decoder, the method comprising: receiving first signaling information and second signaling information from a coded video bitstream of a coded region, the first signaling information being indicative of an intra maximum transform size of the coded region based on an intra prediction mode, and the second signaling information being indicative of an inter maximum transform size of the coded region based on an inter prediction mode;
