CODING VIDEO DATA USING DERIVED CHROMA MODE

An example device for decoding video data includes a memory for storing video data, and one or more processors implemented in circuitry and configured to construct an intra-prediction candidate list for a current chroma block of the video data indicating candidate intra-prediction modes for the current chroma block, wherein the intra-prediction candidate list indicates a subset of allowed luminance (luma) candidate intra-prediction modes, determine cost (e.g., sum of absolute transform difference (SATD)) values for each of the candidate intra-prediction modes in the intra-prediction candidate list for the current chroma block, and generate a prediction block for the current chroma block using one of the candidate intra-prediction modes indicated by the intra-prediction candidate list according to the cost values (e.g., the candidate intra-prediction mode having the lowest cost value).
