There you go, the green primary has an a* value of -161, so it's outside the
ICC PCS encoding range of -128 to +128.
Althought I don't understand, the Lab space should represent all the human
visible colors?
It does, but the a* b* ranges are "unlimited", whereas the ICC encoding
ranges have to be practical, and therefore have limits.
[If you run the spectrum locus through the D50 conversion to L*a*b* you
get many values that are outside the ICC PCS encoding range, depending
on how far you push up or down the spectrum.]
I've got understanding that there is currently no consumer
technology available for representing all those colors? So there is only
two ways to interpret: I am wrong or my display is able to display some
imaginary green color :)
It's not imaginary, it's real (you can see it), it's just that it can't
be encoded in an L*a*b* PCS ICC profile. You can encode it in an XYZ PCS
ICC profile though.
This takes longer than I have patience for, stopped the process after 5
minutes. I don't have "state-of-the-art" system but quad-core Q9550@xxxxxx
should be still fast enough.
Sorry, I'm not sure quite what you're talking about.
