A general-purpose light source has a characteristic called chromaticity that can make a big difference to the comfort of the observer.

Characterising colour is not simpleColour gamut charts are often bandied about as a way of showing how well a monitor or light performs. But the story behind them is complex, and not at all ...

Looking at the chromaticity diagram, it’s immediately apparent that we’re missing a lot of the outer sections of each primary color.

The Chromaticity diagram overlooks luminance, a crucial dimension for mapping colours. The true colour gamut is represented by colour volume charts as was recognised by CIE in 2021.

Take a look at a chromaticity diagram: It represents human perceivable colors, with (usually triangular) areas within demarking the gamut of particular devices.

2. Simulations Figure 3 shows the sampled RGB primary coordinates for a variety of wide-gamut displays, as shown by the red, green, and blue points in the u′v′ chromaticity diagram.

Figure 1: Gamut rings Conventionally, the “color gamut” is represented by the area of a triangle connecting the points of the red, blue, and green primary colors in a chromaticity diagram (Fig ...

The chromaticity diagrams in Figure 8 illustrate how important this is. They show the colour performance of an ideal camera (one having perfect colour-matching functions) feeding a monitor with a ...
