Hi Troy,
Could you clarify what you're looking for? I don't quite understand.
For example, going from 8 bits per component (R'G'B') to 6 bits per
component won't reduce the total extent of the color gamut, although
you will certainly have fewer representable colors and wider bands in
smooth gradients -- 4x wider on average.
If you want to soft proof your theoretical 18bpp monitor on an actual
24bpp display, one easy option is just to truncate the last two bits
of every color component! Of course for photographic material you may
be better off dithering for 6 bits per component on that display, in
which case that is also a viable soft proofing strategy.
What am I missing?
Best,
Keith
