Color SpacesA color space is a specific implementation of aColor profiles define the specific color spacecolor model. There are many RGB and CMYK color(e.g. Adobe RGB) of a document or device. Thespaces, and each one has a different gamut. Theterms color profile and color space are often usedtwo main color spaces you should be familiar withinterchangeably.are Adobe RGB and sRGB.For more detailed information on color settings,sRGB (standard RGB) is an older standard, andvisit the Adobe support site:almost every screen uses sRGB as their colorhttp://help.adobe.com/en US/creativesuite/space. sRGB should be used for images thatcs/using/WS6A727430-9717-42df-B578-appear on the web. Most monitors can displayC0AC705C54F0.htmlalmost all of the sRGB color space, so this is asafe option for digital media.Adobe RGB has a wider gamut than sRGB,meaning images in the Adobe RGB color spacecan have a wider range of colors. However, mostmonitors cannot display all of the Adobe RGBgamut! So Adobe RGB images viewed on the weblikely look worse than sRGB images, becausethere will be color loss when the browser convertsthe Adobe RGB image to sRGB. However, manyinkjet printers have adapted the Adobe RGB colorspace, meaning they can reproduce colors out ofthe sRGB gamut, so it is recommended to keepfor-print images in Adobe RGB.4
Color Management Workflow at DMAThere are multiple approaches to color1.
