Terry,
Two monitor profiling software packages now produce 3-D gamut-compressed
profiles that let you go on seeing colors in correct hue even though they
are outside the monitor's saturation gamut. They are basICColor display from
ICS and MonacoOPTIX. I can tell you gamut-compressed monitor profiles really
do make a huge difference, not just on out-of-gamut colors but also on
boundary colors that are near the limits of monitor saturation.
I've been using gamut-compressed monitor profiles ever since Franz started
exploring the concept way back in the dawn of color management (about 1997).
Surprisingly, quite a lot of commercial press CMYK values, especially
yellow, magenta and cyan, and even some SWOP values, are out of gamut of
most monitors.
