Illustrator color settings
Illustrator uses a sophisticated color management system that can handle both RGB and
CMYK colors for a variety of color-managed workflows. By customizing color settings, you
specify the amount of color management that you want to use while working in Illustrator.
Illustrator color settings include the following:
Working spaces:
Default color spaces to use when working with RGB and CMYK documents.
ICC color profiles describe the gamut and color characteristics of these working spaces.
Color management policies:
Instructions that tell Illustrator what to do when it encounters
color data from a color space other than the specified working space.
The following procedure outlines the recommended color settings for Illustrator in a
Color Server workflow.
