Estimation of the perceptual color gamut on displays

A new method was developed to evaluate the perceived gamut of a display. A multispectral image of a white gypsum sphere was projected onto various highly chromatic lights, producing a series of images with distinct hue perceptions at the gamut boundary of displays. These images were subsequently used in a psychophysical experiment to examine the perceived color gamut. Afterwards, the visual results were further compared with the prediction results from various uniform color spaces (UCSs) and color appearance models (CAMs). The present results demonstrate that CAM16-UCS provides the most accurate prediction across the entire color gamut, whereas the cyan-to-blue region is more poorly predicted than the other hue regions for all CAMs and UCSs investigated.
