A method of mapping a set of individual colors having a color set gamut with a color-set gamut boundary. Some of the colors of the color set are not reproducible by a reproduction device, which has a color gamut with a gamut boundary, and are therefore outside the reproduction device's color gamut. The set of individual colors is mapped to a reproducible-color set. The method includes compressing the in-gamut colors, and clipping the out-of-gamut colors onto the device's gamut boundary along lines derived from both of the set gamut boundary and the device's gamut boundary.
