# The Gamut ##### The gamut represents the 3-dimensional modeling of the colors of an ICC profile or an image. Usually this graphic representation is displayed in a 3D Lab space. In the example below, we can compare the gamut of the ICC profile of an Epson SC-P7000 printer with the gamut of an image. [![image-1635600650489.png](https://wiki.coraye.com/uploads/images/gallery/2021-10/scaled-1680-/image-1635600650489.png)](https://wiki.coraye.com/uploads/images/gallery/2021-10/image-1635600650489.png) In this example we can see by superimposing the two gamuts, that the saturated blue of the jellyfish image comes out of the reproducible color gamut of the printer. --- --- As we saw in the chapter on ICC profiles, the ICC profile is made from the measurement of a range of color patches. Thanks to the Gamut Viewer, we can compare the measured colors with the ICC profile generated from these measurements.

#### Non-reproducible colors In the example below we have displayed in the Gamut Viewer the profile of a printer, that of an image and a saturated color. As we have seen previously, we can see that some colors of the image cannot be reproduced faithfully as well as the color Yellow.
