Gamut-mapping from a source device to a destination device is performed in a perceptually linear color space such as CIECAM02 by separating a source image into primary color components and processing each primary component separately by mapping a source primary hue leaf with a destination primary hue leaf. The mapped primary components are then summed and a resultant destination image is obtained. Alternatively, hue rotation is performed by determining a relative position of an input color between the nearest primary and the nearest secondary color in a source hue wheel. The determined relative position in the source hue wheel is used to find a corresponding location in a destination hue wheel so that the hue angle for obtaining the destination hue leaf can be determined. In both processes, the source and destination hue leafs are mapped using a cusp-to-cusp mapping with a shear mapping process being used to pull in the remaining colors. Finally, results of the mapping process are converted from device-independent color appearance space values to tristimulus values, and from tristimulus values to a color space of the destination device.
