Hard to say for a number of reasons. Certainly any colors that fall outside
display gamut are "invisible" to the user editing those colors. So a wider
gamut display can be useful in such cases. Then the next question becomes,
how much smaller is the Artisan gamut to Adobe RGB. How you set the Artisan
might play a role here. I set mine to D65, native gamma (not forcing to 1.8
or 2.2).
I loaded both Adobe RGB 1998 and my Artisan profile in ColorThink and looked
at them both in 3D. Impossible to tell you what I saw without sending you
the rotation in 3D in Quicktime (something I think I can do using Snap Pro
X). But I'll try to "describe" what I'm seeing:
Adobe RGB 1998 is larger in nearly all areas although there is a portion of
the Artisan gamut that falls outside a tad (reds). The areas I see where
Adobe appears much larger are greens and blues. The overall shape of the two
are close so imagine if you will the Artisan gamut being pushed right up
next to the red area of the gamut (exceeding just a tiny amount) with Adobe
being much larger in the other two areas of the axis/shape. If there's a way
to statistically have ColorThink tell me how much larger that is, I'd be
happy to report what I get. If I had to venture a guess (just looking at the
two over-lappng), I'd say the green edge of Adobe RGB appears to be a good
15% larger tapering off as you get to blue (maybe 5%). Again, the red of
both butt up very close to each other with the Artisan having a very small
(2-3%?) Extending past Adobe RGB.
While I'd love to have a gamut that's larger, I'd agree that accuracy and
consistency are more important to me. IOW, larger but not accurate is a much
worse situation to be in.
