Color Gamut Mapping

A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions that when executed cause a processor resource to:

• receive display characteristics of each one of a plurality of displays communicatively coupled to a host computing device,
• wherein the display characteristics comprise a color gamut specification and an associated electro-optical transfer function;
• determine a color gamut assigned to each one of a plurality of virtual machines executing on the host computing device and communicatively coupled to the plurality of displays;
• map each one of the determined color gamuts to one of the plurality of displays based on the display characteristics and the assigned color gamuts;
• and
• adjust the mapping in response to removal of a virtual machine, additional of a virtual machine, removal of a display, addition of a display, or any combination thereof.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a processor resource of a host computing device and from a first virtual machine executing on the host computing device and assigned a first color gamut, a color gamut specification and an associated electro-optical transfer function of a first display communicatively coupled to the host computing device, a color gamut specification and an associated electro-optical transfer function of a second display communicatively coupled to the host computing device, or both;
• determining, at the processor resource and based on the first color gamut and the respective color gamut specifications and respective associated electro-optical transfer functions of the first display and the second display, a color gamut mapping for the first color gamut;
• mapping, at the processor resource, the first color gamut to the first display based on the color gamut mapping;
• displaying, via the first display, a first image associated with the first virtual machine;
• adjusting, at the processor resource, the color gamut mapping in response to adding a second virtual machine having a second color gamut assignment executing on the host computing device;
• and
• mapping, at the processor resource, the first color gamut to the first display or the second display and the second color gamut to a remaining display based on the color gamut mapping;
• and
• displaying, via the first display and the second display, the first image associated with the first virtual machine and a second image associated with the second virtual machine based on the mapping of the first color gamut and the second color gamut.
