Gamut

In color reproduction and colorimetry, a gamut, or color gamut, is a convex set containing the colors that can be accurately represented, i. e. reproduced by an output device or measured by an input device.

Devices with a larger gamut can represent more colors.
Similarly, gamut may also refer to the colors within a defined color space, which is not linked to a specific device.
A trichromatic gamut is often visualized as a color triangle.
