Feb 19, 2014 · The Pointer’s gamut is (an approximation of) the gamut of real surface colors as can be seen by the human eye, based on the research by Michael R. Pointer (1980). What this means is that every color that can be reflected by the surface of an object of any material is inside the Pointer’s gamut.

Mar 17, 2021 · The Pointer’s gamut is (an approximation of) the gamut of real surface colors as can be seen by the human eye, based on the research by Michael R. Pointer (1980). What this means is that every color that can be reflected by the surface of an object of any material is inside the Pointer’s gamut.

Aug 27, 2022 · The pointers gamut is a measure of what colours can be produced by diffuse reflection. Here is an image comparing the pointers gamut and sRGB gamut. You can read more about the pointers gamut here.

A maximum gamut for real surface colours has been derived from the analysis of the colour coordinates of 4089 samples. The gamut has been derived in both the CIE 1976 L* u* v* colour space and the CIE 1976 L* a* b* colour space.

Jun 21, 2016 · Pointer’s Gamut In 1980, Michael Pointer published the results of a colorimetric analysis of over 4,000 natural and man-made surface colors (Pointer 1980). Whereas the MacAdam limits set a theoretical maximum, Pointer’s data is an attempt to establish the empirical limits of color saturation.

Mar 11, 2019 · Michael R. Pointer published in 1980 a maximum gamut for real surface colors, based on 4089 samples, establishing a widely respected target for color reproduction. Visually, Pointers Gamut represents the colors we see about us in the natural world.

Feb 6, 2014 · In those articles I used the gamut of colors found in the natural world, as defined by Pointer, as a possible design goal for an ideal color display. Kid Jansen at TFT Central has followed-up on my piece with a much more detailed look at how several current color gamut standards and devices perform compared to Pointer’s gamut.

Jul 23, 2013 · Color gamut of 4,000 surface colors found in nature as measured by Pointer in 1980 against the color gamut of the iPhone 5. The first thing you’ll notice about Pointer’s gamut (pictured above again) is that it’s a pretty odd, squiggly shape.

This paper explores the influence of the gamut of cathode-ray tube (CRT) display devices on the reproduction of real surface colours and the best uses of colour spaces to describe colour gamuts and practical issues concerning gamut limitations in the accurate reproduction of surface colours.

Jun 20, 2016 · Pointer’s Gamut, MacAdam Limits, and Wide-Gamut Displays Summary: Three “wide-gamut” RGB color spaces — AdobeRGB, DCI-P3, and Rec. 2020 — are compared to the gamut of real surface colors (Pointer’s gamut) and the optimal color solid (MacAdam limits).
