What is Color Gamut?

The color gamut describes the range of colors that a display can reproduce.

Every monitor displays different color quantities depending on how wide the gamut of the display is, like most displays out there are capable of producing 16.7 million colors, but there are monitors out there which can produce even more. 

Most of the time, colors are produced through a mixture of different colors rather than producing them natively on its own. For example, printers at home usually only contain black, magenta, cyan and yellow ink and the printer uses a mixture of these base colors to produce all the other colors you see on a printed page.

Now, due to OLED technology, a wide color gamut is possible. Wide color gamuts produce pure, native colors without mixing any other colors, which means that from more accurate printing to the production of more difficult colors, the sky’s the only limit.
