   Madam, before you touch the instrument,
   To learn the order of my fingering,
   I must begin with rudiments of art,
   To teach you gamut in a briefer sort. William Shakespeare.

   When by the gamut some musicians make
   A perfect song, others will undertake,
   By the same gamut chang’d, to equal it:
   Things simply good can never be unfit. John Donne.

   That rant by note, and through the gamut rage;
   In songs and airs express their martial fire,
   Combat in trills, and in a feuge expire. Addison.

1. Gamut

   In color reproduction, including computer graphics and photography, the gamut, or color gamut, is a certain complete subset of colors. The most common usage refers to the subset of colors which can be accurately represented in a given circumstance, such as within a given color space or by a certain output device. Another sense, less frequently used but not less correct, refers to the complete set of colors found within an image at a given time. In this context, digitizing a photograph, converting a digitized image to a different color space, or outputting it to a given medium using a certain output device generally alters its gamut, in the sense that some of the colors in the original are lost in the process.
