While playing around with ColorThink, I noticed that, if I graph AdobeRGB
and compare its gamut with that of ProPhoto RGB, there are some colors in
AdobeRGB that are not found in ProPhoto RGB.
Specifically, those are colors in the range between light indigo and light
reddish purples. Overall it's a thin enough sliver, possibly about 5% of all
colors in AdobeRGB (in my very unscientific visual estimate). Still, this is
something I never heard mentioned before when people in this forum have
described the properties and uses of ProPhoto RGB.
While this does not invalidate this remarkable color space, surely it
qualifies the high praise it has received from many. In all fairness, this
limitation ought to be mentioned in the same breath with the praise so that
people receive a complete picture.
