Looking at the color space of each more common model, I can see that the RGB color model is the largest, followed by Pantone and, finally, the CMYK color model. RGB, CMYK, and Pantone are some of the more common color models. Some color models are based on the optical components of the colors, and others are based on how people 'feel' colors are related to each other. There are a few color models to choose from when creating print graphics. Any color outside these boundaries is considered out of the color gamut. If we map these colors within the color space, you assign an area or boundaries to the color model. Simply put, a color space (also called color gamut) is the range of colors one device (eye, printer, camera) can detect. A color model is identified by a series of numbers, usually in three or four values that form each color, for example, an RGB color would be represented as R:0, G:160, B:196, whereas the similar color in the CMYK color model would be C:82, M:19, Y:15, K:0.
