Interesting, I'm not sure what you can conclude from this, but it seems the P65+ has a wider (in most areas) response gamut than the IQ180. (Daylight profiles compared).

I am no expert, but then it would seem to me that using this profile would reduce (rather drastically it would seem) the gamut available from the back assuming this profile is not, as you are saying, a true representation of what the back is capable.I think this issue is related to the profile creation parameters and how a profile renders color, and it doesn't have to do with CCD capabilities. Aptus 12 profiles are way bigger than IQ180 too, in particular, those labeled as HS, (high saturation), too much color for my taste coming from a P30+, BTW, but easy to fix in C1
Try the bluebell ... my personal nemesis due to the difference between human optical perception of the colour vs absolute captured colour. Tough rendering blue vs purple vs pink bells in my experience. I haven't tried it with a Phase One camera yet but both Kodak DCS and Nikon DSLR's had a tough time with it.Of course I could be completely wrong, but printing "orange" from my leaf files has left me exasperated. It must be the hardest colour to deal with.
There is a very informative writing at Betterlight.com covering a similar issue with cobalt blue and how to deal with, which is related to certain spectral response characteristics of some pigments.Try the bluebell ... my personal nemesis due to the difference between human optical perception of the colour vs absolute captured colour.

Sometimes a subjective rendering of colours based on the profile designer's experience is better than an objective mapping.
