Theoretical and Practical Limits to Wide Color Gamut Imaging in Objects, Reproducers, and Cameras

Wayne E. Bretl

The available color gamut in imaging systems is discussed. Both theoretical and practical gamuts of object colors, color reproducers, and, in particular, cameras are presented. The practicalities of an extended color gamut for both film and electronic capture are explored by study of a regular series of object spectra varying in both center wavelength and bandwidth.
