Abstract: A perceptual hue preserved (PHP) color gamut transferring (CGT) method carried out in CIE-1931 color space includes obtaining a target gamut based on a rendering device of a content. Multiple color-moving constraints (CMC) are retrieved from a dataset. Perceptually consistent hue loci (PCHL) of out-of-gamut (OOG) colors of the content are estimated according to the CMC and a protection zone boundary. Each of the OOG colors are moved along its PCHL to a final point inside the target gamut based on a CGT plan data. The CGT plan data includes target and source boundary information formed using the CMC and the protection zone boundary.
