What is a colour gamut?

A colour gamut is the area enclosed by a colour space in three dimensions. It is usual to represent the gamut of a colour reproduction system graphically as the range of colours available in some device independent colour space. Often the gamut will be represented in only two dimensions, for example on a CIE u'v' chromaticity diagram.
