  • Publication number: 20060007460
    Abstract: A method for re-mapping out of gamut colors into a display device color space. The method includes determining a maximum color gamut of the display device in a perceptual color space that represents the combination of hue, lightness and saturation; and determining if a target color is out of gamut for the display device. Accordingly, an out of gamut target color is provided. One may then obtain a hue angle for the out of gamut target color. Using the hue angle, one determines the lightness value of the out of gamut target color. Subsequently, one would hold the one holding the hue angle constant, altering the lightness and saturation, as necessary to bring the out of gamut target color into the display device color space.
