An example device includes a memory and processing circuitry in communication with the memory. The processing circuitry of a device is configured to form a most probable mode (MPM) candidate list for a chroma block of the video data stored to the memory, such that the MPM candidate list includes one or more derived modes (DMs) associated with a luma block of the video data associated with the chroma block, and a plurality of luma prediction modes that can be used for coding luminance components of the video data. The processing circuitry is further configured to select a mode from the MPM candidate list, and to code the chroma block according to the mode selected from the MPM candidate list.
