Since when is a gamut discrete?

• thedailymail 5y ago
  I think the original meaning of gamut - the full set of musical notes in a scale – refers to a discrete series. But in color theory the gamut is the complete set of colors that can be reproduced by a device (or which is present in an image), and is continuous (although you could probably argue for discrete depending on how colors are defined in a particular model.)
