Actually, the gamut is a three-dimensional solid. (Don't forget the Y dimension.) In X,Y,Z space it is the polyhedron defined by these eight points: white, cyan, magenta, yellow, red (magenta+yellow), blue (cyan+magenta), green (cyan+yellow) and black (cyan+magenta+yellow.) You may also use x,y,Y space. If you plot cyan, blue, magenta, red, yellow and green on the x,y chromaticity diagram you will have a projection of the gamut on that plane.
