as far as I understand CIE*Lab is an way to describe colors, which may or

My question is which is the colorspacebody of physically ideal

Is it possible to shrink such an colorspacebody to an special reflective
media?

Mike Pointer has a database of physically realisable surface reflectances, ie. the LAB values of colours you can actually make and paint onto surfaces. I've googled, but failed to find a link, sorry :-( but maybe someone here knows a link to his work?

I found the proper reference for this work:

 POINTER, M.R. 1980. The gamut of real surface colours, Color Res. Appl., 5, 145-155.

Not available as a handy downloadable file as far as I can see, unfortunately.
