The term gamut technically originated from music [1]. It means that the set of pitches of which musical melodies are composed. In Physics, gamut is the range of chromaticities that can be obtained by mixing three or more colors. The gamut of a device or process is that portion of the color space that can be represented or reproduced.
Gamuts are generally represented as area in the CIE diagrams, the higher the area of the gamut, the larger the numebr of the colors present in that device. Shown below are the spectra measurements of red, green and blue LCD.
Gamuts of the LCD and printed colors are presented below.
