An example method includes decoding, from an encoded video bitstream, a sequence parameter set (SPS) referred to by one or more pictures of video data, wherein decoding the SPS comprises: parsing, at a first position in the SPS, a syntax element that indicates whether joint coding of chroma residuals is enabled or disabled for the one or more pictures of video data referring to the SPS; and parsing, at a second position in the SPS that is after the first position, one or more syntax elements representing a quantization parameter (QP) mapping table.
