In fact, I made a mistake : sRGB is about 30% of xyY diagram area. Does this
diagram also contain non-real colors ?
Yes, certainly - everything outside the spectrum locus !
Comparing areas in xyY is pretty misleading too - the
lack of correspondence with perceptual uniformity in xyY was
one of the factors that drove the development of Luv and L*a*b*.
Also, xyY gamut diagrams are usually quite misleading because they
are a 2D projection of 3D gamuts. Two gamuts may shadow
each other (project over the same area), while the 2D projection
of their 3D volume of intersection will be quite different.
