A term used to describe the color space of different color models. Usually refers to the limitations of the CMYK palette. RGB colors must be adjusted to CMYK gamut to insure proper color balance.
Gamut is the range of available color on an output device. Each device has its own gamut capabilities. If the gamut fall out of that particular devices range, it is shown inaccurately on the display or cannot be printed. We then say a color is "out of gamut".
The range of color a device can produce, or the range of color a color model can represent.
n. 1. A complete range or extent. 2. Music The entire series of recognized notes.
The overall range of colors that can be produced by a particular COLOR MODEL. (Most people believe, for example, that all the visible colors can be produced by mixing red, green, and blue light, but this is not so; there are colors which no combination of red, green, and blue can produce.) A color which is outside of a particular color model's gamut can not be produced by that color model. The color model normally used to produce colors on press, CMYK, has a very restricted gamut, meaning that many colors can not be reproduced in CMYK under any circumstances.
Possible range of colors available to an input, display, or output device.
Range of colours that can be displayed or printed.
The range of available colours that is reproducible on a specific output device. The gamut of a printer will be different for different ink/paper/profile combinations.
The range of colors that a device can reproduce. The naked eye, the camera, the computer monitor, and the four-color printing press all have different color gamuts. The eyes range has the widest gamut and the printing press has the narrowest.
The range of colors that can be produced by a color system; tonal value and color range that can be produced or reproduced by a system or process depending on the color space and colorants used. See also "color space".
a name for the lowest G of the late medieval musical system, gamma ut, the term was used for this note as well as the entire range of notes in the solmization system, shown on the Guidonian Hand, and the hexachords based on the solmization system. From this use, the term gradually came to be applied to scales in general, and also to refer to an overall range or compass. [GSD
Describes the range of the depictable colours of one system or technique, which is dependent on the tonal value breadth.
The total range of colours reproduced by a device. A colour is said to be "out of gamut" when its position in one device's colour space cannot be directly translated into another device's colour space. A typical CMYK gamut is generally smaller than a typical RGB gamut.
a complete extent or range: "a face that expressed a gamut of emotions"
a scale or notes of any complete range or extent
A term referring to the range of available color on a display or printer. A particular color is either in or out of the gamut of the device. If outside, it cannot be accurately shown on that display or printed on that output device. (Each device has its own gamut capabilities.)
The range of colours available to a specific output device, such as a laserprinter or an imagesetter. If the colour range is too wide for that particular device, it is referred to as 'out of gamut'. For example, the RGB colour range is much broader than the CMYK colour gamut (which is what most pre-press output devices use). Colours specified using the RGB gamut will often fall out of the gamut range when output on a CMYK device.
range of possible colors within a given color space. For example, the gamut of NTSC is dramatically more limited than the gamut of the RGB color space.
Every output device (e.g., a printer or monitor) has a range of colors that it can accurately reproduce. This range is called the gamut of the device. Every device from every manufacturer, whether it is a monitor or printer, has a unique gamut.
The range of different colours that can be interpreted by a colour model or generated by a specific device.
The total range of colors produced by a device. A color is said to be "out of gamut" when its position in one device's color space cannot be directly translated into another device's color space. For example, the total range of colors that can be reproduced with ink on coated paper is greater than that for uncoated newsprint, so the total gamut for uncoated newsprint is said to be smaller than the gamut for coated stock. A typical CMYK gamut is generally smaller than a typical RGB gamut. The most appropriate gamut for Internet display is sRGB.
Total range of colours which can be output to a device such as a display monitor or plotter.
The range of colors, which are available in a color system. If your color is out of gamut range, then it may not print or view correctly.
The range of voltages allowed for a video signal, or a component of a video signal. Signal voltages outside of the range (i.e., exceeding the gamut) may lead to clipping, crosstalk or other distortions.
The range or limits of a color space that a device, such as a monitor or a printer, can express.
the range of notes available in Guido of Arezzo's hexachordal system, from the low G an octave and a fourth below middle C (known as "gamma ut," hence the term "gamut") to E an octave and a third above middle C. See hexachord.
The range of colors that can be captured or represented by a device. When a color is outside a device's gamut, the device represents that color as some other color. The RGB gamut contains a possible 16 777 216 colours and the CMYK gamut contains only 1 000 000 colours (not including shades that use black ink).
a complete range of colors created by a set of like pigments
The complete color space, which can be reproduced by a device. A color is "out of gamut" if it cannot be represented in the color space of a device.
The limits on a set of colors. Ordinarily the gamut is imposed by the limitations of a physical capture, display, or output device. In a computer screen, colors that cannot be displayed are called out-of-gamut colors.
The limited range of colors provided by a specific input device, output device, or pigment set.
The colour gamut is all of the colours available under a given colour model. RGB and CMYK have a much larger gamut of colours then the INDEXED model .
The range of color that a specific device can reproduce. Monitors (which display color using the additive color model) usually have a large color gamut, while desktop ink jet printers typically have a much smaller gamut. In the diagram to the right, the bright triangular area represents the gamut of a Trinitron monitor while the entire area represents the total spectrum of visible light.
Range of colors that a device can be capture or display.
If something is said to be ‘out of gamutâ€(tm) it contains colours which are ‘illegalâ€(tm) when converted into the RGB domain.
The range of colors that can be captured or represented by a camera or graphics device.
The range of different colors that can be interpreted by a color model or generated by a specific device.
The range of colours that are available in an image or output process.
Slope of colors that can be reproduced by a specific display or output device, or by a primary color system (such as RGB or CMYK).
is the colour range that different types of output device or ink sets can process and create certain colours in that particular range.
The range of colours that can be captured or represented by a device. When a colour is outside a device's gamut, the device represents that colour as some other colour.
The range of color that a device can produce, also referred to as the device's color gamut.
The range of colours and tones a device or colour space is capable of recording or reproducing. The human eye can sense many more colours than can be reproduced on a computer monitor in RGB colour space.
the range of colors and tones a device or colorspace is capable of recording or reproducing. The human eye can sense many more colors than can be reproduced on a computer monitor in RGB colorspace. The human eye has a larger Gamut than the computer monitor.
Every color combination that is possible to produce with a given set of colorants on a given device or system.
In color reproduction, including computer graphics and photography, the gamut, or color gamut (pronounced ), is a certain complete subset of colors. The most common usage refers to the subset of colors which can be accurately represented in a given circumstance, such as within a given color space or by a certain output device. Another sense, less frequently used but not less correct, refers to the complete set of colors found within an image at a given time.
