  23. The whole range of colours that can be produced by a device or a process. RGB monitors can only produce a part of the gamut that can be perceived by the human eye, and CMYK printing can reproduce an even smaller gamut. Gamuts are described using the CIE chromaticity diagram.
  24. 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. ...
  25. The range of colours and tones a printer or other device is capable of recording or reproducing (ie the colour space). The human eye can sense many more colours than can be reproduced on a computer monitor in any particular colour space.
