I said that wrong. Saturated yellows can be interpreted by camera matrix 
input profiles as colors that are imaginary. They are out of gamut with 
the sum total of all real colors. Hence they are out of gamut with 
respect to ACES, ProPhotoRGB, Identity, and all other commonly and 
uncommonly used RGB working spaces because all of these spaces skim 
along the edges of real yelow colors as plotted on the xy chromaticity 
diagram.
