30 | NEC SPECTRAVIEW II - USER'S GUIDE
Information window - Color Gamut tab
The Color Gamut tab graphically illustrates the color gamut of the display for comparison purposes as a 2D representation
of the 3D color gamut volume. The display's color gamut can be compared to the color gamut of several popular color
spaces.
The source of the color measurements for the display's color gamut will depend on the Primary Colors Chromaticity
Source setting in the Preferences dialog.
If a Target Color Gamut other than Native is being used, then selecting Target will show the Target color gamut. This
will be disabled if the Native color gamut is used since it will depend on each individual display.
Selecting a reference color space will overlay the color gamut onto the display's.
Colorspace
• CIE xy - shows the gamut projected in CIE xy colorspace. This is probably more familiar to most users, however
it does not allow color differences to be easily judged because this projection overemphasizes differences in green
colors, and underemphasizes differences in blue colors.
• CIE u'v' - shows the gamut projected in CIE u'v' colorspace. This is projection is an improvement over CIE xy
in that different colors are more equally represented in scale.
Show black body curve - shows the black body locus as yellow curve.
Show Target white point - shows the White Point of the currently selected target as a green X.
