Hold this as a prompt, not a verdict. Two constructs sitting close in meaning is a reason to read them side by side and decide for yourself whether they are one idea under two names. It is not proof that they are. Compare the meanings in the Collider.

The complete set of colors that a particular device or medium can capture or reproduce, drawn as a bounded region inside a larger color space: a monitor, a printer, or a standard such as sRGB each has its own gamut, and a color outside that region simply cannot be shown accurately by that device. Stone, Cowan, and Beatty's 1988 Color gamut mapping and the printing of digital color images set out how colors are moved from one device's gamut into another's when the two do not match, so that a printed image resembles the one on screen. The referent here is a region of reproducible color, fixed by a device's physics and plotted on a color diagram, not the ordered range of musical pitches that the same word names in the history of music.[1]
In medieval and Renaissance theory, the whole ordered range of recognized musical pitches, running from the lowest note, Gamma, up to the top of the system, and organized by overlapping six-note groups that singers learned on the Guidonian hand. The word itself is a contraction of gamma and ut, the name of that lowest step, and it is the origin of the everyday phrase "run the gamut," meaning to pass through the whole range; Mengozzi's 2010 The Renaissance Reform of Medieval Music Theory traces how this pitch framework, credited to Guido of Arezzo, was taught and later reinterpreted. The referent is the full compass of pitches available to a voice or an instrument, counted in steps of the scale, and it is unrelated to the region of reproducible colors that the same word names in imaging.[2]
