Traditional color scopes provide limited insight into perceptual attributes of color, particularly lightness, chroma, and hue angle. To address this limitation, the Gamut Rings Color Scope offers a novel 2D visualization that simultaneously represents these three perceptual dimensions. This intuitive layout enhances the understanding of color distributions in a wide variety of image types. Comparative evaluations show how the Gamut Rings Color Scope better reveals perceptual features—such as in mid-tone gradations, hue shifts, and gamut violations—than conventional vectorscopes and chromaticity scopes. These comparisons underscore the unique advantages of the ring-based display for analyzing tone mapping, saturation changes, and high-dynamic-range (HDR) rendering behavior.
