Use the Gamut Report to view the gamut of a selected profile to see the ΔE (delta e) range and the percentage of PANTONE colors you can reproduce. You can run this report on any media profile in your library to see which colors are within gamut. You can also review the volume and specific ΔE values.

How to run a Gamut Report: 

  1. Use the drop-down list to select your Media Group, Media, and Mode, click > Run Report.
  2. The Gamut Report displays scores relative to each group.
  3. Use the scroll bar to see the entire PANTONE list of spot colors. (If you want to check a specific color, use the Color Name section to find your color and see its score.)

What is Delta E - ΔE:

Δ E < 2 - dead match, color difference is not noticeable. (A score below 2.00 is considered indistinguishable.)
Δ E < 5 - close match, some difference may be noticeable. (Scores between 2.00 and 5.00 are considered noticeable.)
Δ E < 10 - no match and the color is out of gamut, very noticeable. (Scores above 5.00-10.00+ are considered highly noticeable)


The Gamut Report tab displays scores relative to input and output profiles. This tool is useful for comparing the ability of two gamuts to accurately reproduce a particular profile. The lower the score in the Colorimetric Round-Trip Error section, the better the profile for reproducing that particular gamut.

The percentage score determines the amount of each group that fall within a certain range.
