Right or wrong?
Considering that ICC Lab is not large enough to contain all the colors in
many RGB spaces (especially scanner spaces and wide gamut workingspaces, but
including even midsize spaces such as AdobeRGB), the idea that the PCS can
handle any color is a dangerous one, indeed!
Don't you mean ICC Lab will not contain all the RGB "values" rather
than colors.
Which colors visible to the eye are not contained by ICC Lab?
