KCMS Overview
Some Background Information
Everyone perceives colors differently. Even the same person’s perception can be
affected by different lighting conditions. Different devices (input, display, and
output) also interpret and define color differently and simply can’t create the same
gamut (or “range”) of colors.
The goal of color management, then, is to help you get accurate, predictable color
across all devices by managing, compensating for, and controlling these
differences.
The Idea Behind Color Management
Each type of device reads, displays, or interprets color in a unique way. This unique
interpretation is called a “device dependent color space.” And while there are
groups of color spaces, such as RGB or CMYK each device is still unique within its
group. For example, monitors display color in RGB, yet each monitor displays a
unique version.
The CMS automatically translates between each device dependent color space—so
the color data is accurate and understandable.
This chart shows the central role of the CMS in managing device dependent color
spaces.
